| Achoimre: | New readings of historic centres seek alternative methods and approaches to understand their natural, cultural and historical senses. These epistemological efforts want to overcome the positivist visions of the modern paradigm. This paper seeks to understand the historic centre of Cuenca from other perspectives. To achieve this purpose we have consulted several sources postmodern and contemporary, including the suggestive work of Álvaro Niño, called "La Gesta del Signo. Hacia un semanálisis urbano". (The feat of the sign. Toward an urban semanalisis.) This essay is divided into five parts: first of all theoretical and methodological references are presented to address the subject of study; then are exposed archetypes, vectors and urban phenotypes; and finally we raised this hypothesis: the historic centre of Cuenca can be considered an urban chronotope, it means, a natural, urban and architectural alternative of multiple and intertextual interpretation and associations of a Rhizomatic nature.Keywords: Historic center, urbanism, Cuenca, Ecuador |
