| Sumario: | The study seeks to take advantage of the existence of heritage buildings, in the place where one of the most important productive enclaves was established at the beginning of the 20th century. The main objective of the research was to analyze the employee´s houses built in San José de Ancón in the period 1920-1970, to value their historical memory as an architectural heritage of Ecuador. Through the analysis of the properties, they were identified and characterized in terms of their formal and spatial aspects. The methodology proposed the review of primary and secondary sources; in addition, the on-site registration of the buildings and the graphic reconstruction of the projects. The processing of the information and definition of the spatial configuration was carried out through diagrams and graphic resources as a timely tool to obtain results. This exploratory research aims to value the architecture of Ancón through the analysis of the houses built by the oil company Anglo Ecuadorian Oilfields Company in the current parish of San José de Ancón, province of Santa Elena in Ecuador, and in turn allow the recovery of the historical memory of what the camp was. |
