The Biennial in its cultural axis proposes communicating vessels between these three concepts. On the one hand, memory and archives are physical and mental spaces that keep the traces that allow the establishment of paradigms of history. On the other hand, transformation, as a dynamic and infinite exercise. Architecture can be thought of under these three terms: as a living, contingent, constantly changing place that nevertheless has a fixed anchor, it appears intrinsic to its tradition and history. Consequently, architecture is a ritual of memory.
3. APPROACH
The Biennial proposes eight architectural works of the city of Quito as triggers to think about these concepts:
1. Antiguo Hospital San Juan de Dios
Museo de La Ciudad
XVI-XVII
Century
2. CASA DEL ALABADO
Museo de Arte
Precolombino
XVII
Century
3. Piscinas
del

4. Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa

6. Residencia Universitaria

7. Palacio

8. Casa de La Cultura Ecuatoriana

Thus, the MIO20, makes available to the participants a folder for each of the aforementioned works that contain different graphic and photographic files; as well as sketches and planimetry; a technical file and documents that help to the historical contextualization of the proposed works, for their appropriation, adaptation, intervention, manipulation and transformation that results in an unpublished work in digital format.
