This research work brings together the different aspects that have been determined as important to evaluate the potential of interior spaces in commercial areas of the city of Ambato, in order to recycle them, in general terms, according to its own definition, to recycle is to submit a material used to a process so that it can be used again. According to this, recycling architecture is to carry out that process in a building already established or that is being used, so it can be reused, conserving or modifying its previous use and thus initiating a new life cycle (Chacón & Valero, 2009 ) being the objective and principle of the design to meet needs directly linked to the user and case studies provided step-by-step information about the need, the client's requirements and the manufacturing requirements, because buildings are so much more than just an object, they are products generated by and for human activity, and accordingly, if the need therefore changes the function as well, but the meaning as such for the user with the space can be maintained, or adapt a new one, in addition to the meaning or gives the user according of their use process, the meaning is given to inhabit the space (Wallet, 2012), is why that the project focuses on optimizing the spaces of underutilized buildings, using these spaces for different activities and not only commercial ones, so the proposal focuses on the realization of a mapping of underutilized commercial buildings in downtown and commercial areas of the city as it is Av. Simón Bolívar, and through the testimony of expert professionals in reuse and re-functionalization, who originated the parameters to recycle spaces and its intervention to optimize its qualities and characteristics responding to user needs and contributing to the development of the environment in which it is located.
