Description
Résumé:In October 1896, Guayaquil was practically destroyed by a great fire that left more than a third of its population homeless. With the profits of the second cocoa boom, the city started a reconstruction process that allowed the consideration of a new architecture, according to the progress of modernity. Firstly, this happened with the incorporation of the academicist principles, brought by Italian technicians. Secondly, with the 1920’s crisis going deep, with the development of a more austere and simple architecture related with the Modern Movement. The most important architect of this period was Francesco Maccaferri, considered a pioneer in the development of modern architecture in the country, with a fundamental role in shaping the disciplinary field of Ecuadorian architecture.
