In the historic center of Quito in the province of Pichincha is the San Agustín Convent, a patrimonial building of historical and religious character where visitors and faithful can get a meeting with spirituality and culture.

The Convent San Agustín warns of the lack of objects of museographic interpretation that encourage and present to the public in a suggestive way the cultural values ​​with which it counts; Therefore it is pointed out that it is important to implement objects of museographic interpretation of expendio to the public whose objective and purpose contributes to education and diffusion to our heritage, identity and cultural manifestations, the proposal will generate artistic and aesthetic prototypes that interpret the identity of the Museum, whose religious and corporate themes stimulate its consumption and promotion.

As a result of the project, an architectural and artistic project was handed over to the religious community, which was carried out with the presence of the student and teacher group of the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the Equinoctial Technological University.

INTRODUCCIÓN

Desde su origen la arquitectura y el arte se han constituido en el recurso ideal para las representaciones de la espiritualidad humana. Y es justamente a través de estos géneros, que la iglesia fortalece y difunde el mensaje de Cristo, desde su centro fundacional hacia los pueblos del mundo, Su “deber ser” fue – y continua siendo- enseñar los fundamentos de la religión cristiana.

En ese marco,  la arquitectura religiosa con su función integradora de las artes interpreta con una labor significativa en la historia de devoción del pueblo y representa iconográficamente sus profundas enseñanzas.

Por ello la religión ha dejado como testimonio una estela de manifestaciones artísticas, en la pintura, escultura y arquitectura, las mismas que se conservan como patrimonio artístico cultural.

“Al definir el patrimonio, en forma personal lo considero como un soporte de la memoria, es decir algo relativo que se ha construido a lo largo del tiempo mediante un complicado proceso de atribución de valores, y sometido a ciertos factores de gusto y al propio dinamismo de la sociedad”. (Sabina Paredes, 2011).
