Abstract

In September 2015, a team of teachers from the Central University of Ecuador began to research the potential of land construction, especially adobe. It was made several field experiments have to improve the resistance of this important material by associating bers of plant origin, such as paramo straw, coconut fiber, cabuya, abaca, wood sawdust, and rice husk, among other materials. As part of the dissemination of the first endings, two previous publications have been made for the first stage of research, one entitled “Study of stabilizers in adobe” and “Improvement of Adobe with Vegetable Fibers: Straw, Cabuya, Rice husk, Abaca? ” which contemplated the empirical exploration in the use of materials in traditional buildings in the center of Guaranda. In many of the surrounding houses of the archaeological remains, they used rocks from the ancestral constructions to make the foundations of their houses, damaging the original heritage of Chimbo. So this article is the result of the second stage, a series of alternative proposals for sustainability, in which land uses are subject to a contemporary rearrangement that allows the subsistence of heritage structures, but always retains the original physical materiality.
