Escuela Quiteña: Identidad cultural y tendencia aplicada al diseño interior

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study the elements produced in the Escuela Quiteña, by various artists and artisans who embodied a cultural identity that has generated a historical legacy that continues to this day. This movement was developed at the time of the Real Audiencia de Quito, with the passage of time the identity has been diminished and the positioning of the Escuela Quiteña has decreased in front of foreign perspectives, evidencing itself in several areas, punctually in interior design trends, which tends to accept foreign trends as their own. Therefore, this research paper proposes a trend book of interior design based on the study of the Escuela Quiteña and its cultural identity, combining with the aspects that a trend of interior design should consider. In order to determine the elements in which the cultural identity is still manifest, a bibliographic investigation is carried out in which the objects of study of the Escuela Quiteña are delimited, complementing with a field investigation carried out in the goods that maintain the essence of this historical reference, this research modality is also applied to determine the aspects of the interior space that are in trend and, how the object of study is combined with these interior design requirements. The Escuela Quiteña and its cultural identity can be repowered from various perspectives in this project, integrating it into interior design through a detailed interior design trend in a trend book.
