Text description provided by the architects. Historically, the urban context of habitability in Ecuador has reduced the decision for contracting the construction and design of projects related to housing in 2 alternatives (in the middle and lower socioeconomic classes of the country): A professional-graduate with predominance in theoretical knowledge, design and engineering related to functional, aesthetical, and financial criteria; or a non-titled professional with domain in empirical-practical and technical knowledge of construction. Due to cost variables and to avoid formal complications in terms of saving time, most people choose the second alternative. Architecture, the act of building, and the planning of living in the city have been reduced to an apparently sumptuous alternative that only a privileged few can access.
