Abstract

This research studies the artistic development of the city of Ambato at present, from a socio-spatial approach, using as a resource the valorization of these aspects to enhance this cultural manifestation. The problem is defined in the reduced value that our societies give to art, this devaluation, goes from the ignorance of art as such, the absence of the architecture of the concept, and goes through the new understanding of art as a potential for social development. This research work aims to revalue art through the proposal of an architectural project, which provides the physical space and houses the institutionalization of a professional entity of visual arts, thought precisely from art and conceived from the social. The present study in its chapters seeks to clarify the power that artistic manifestations can have in society, for which they need to be revalued from the social and whose components; cultural, educational, political, economic, ideological, and spatial, work in parallel with art as a strategic alternative for growth. The research is projected to collect data from society, making use of the techniques of interviews and surveys of artists, cultural managers and the public, to determine methodologically if the artistic development of a society depends effectively; of the valorization that we provide, of the professional instruction and, of the constructed spatial state. From the investigation it was obtained that; there is a lack of knowledge of the art and / or culture of Ambato, on average of 70.95%, based on interviews and surveys, 63.19% of the population consider the city to be underdeveloped in the arts, but the 86.13% affirm that professionalization is paramount and the level of acceptance of the proposal in this work is encouraging.
