En la década de 1950 una serie de arquitectos uruguayos estaban radicados en Ecuador; muchos de ellos ampliamente reconocidos y documentados en el medio local. Ethel Arias, arquitecta uruguaya nacida en 1925 fue parte de un grupo privilegiado de profesionales, nacionales y extranjeros, que ejecutaron edificios emblemáticos en esa época. No obstante, poco se ha documentado de esta profesional quien fue la primera mujer en ejercer la arquitectura en el Ecuador. El estudio involucra breves aspectos biográficos, la contextualización de la década de 1950, una revisión sobre las complejidades de ser mujer en un medio conservador con una profesión masculinizada y su aprendizaje en Ecuador entre lo colonial y lo autóctono. Finalmente se analiza su obra más relevante, la reconstrucción del Palacio de Gobierno, como parte de un discurso sobre la modernidad en Quito, con énfasis en las decisiones técnicas como configuradoras de un espacio que mantiene sus características a pesar de varias intervenciones posteriores.
