Ítem Acceso Abierto Reinterpretación de la arquitectura Azteca en proyectos de vivienda contemporánea(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Iñiguez Alvarez, Jacqueline Fabiola; Avila Calle, Marco Benigno; 0107079378This research addresses the reinterpretation of Aztec architecture in contemporary housing, highlighting the loss of identity elements in current Mexican architecture. Therefore, the objective is to develop design strategies inspired by Aztec architecture for application in contemporary projects. The methodology combines a qualitative approach with a comparative analysis of architectural references. It is structured in three stages: collecting information on Aztec architecture, analyzing case studies that have reinterpreted pre-Hispanic elements (Casa Zicatela, Casa Mérida, and Casa Morgan), and developing design strategies applied to a preliminary project. Additionally, artificial intelligence is incorporated to explore alternative futures and generate visual representations of hypothetical scenarios. The results include the identification of key design strategies, such as spatial hierarchy, vertical circulation, and the use of local materials. AI-generated images were also developed to show how Aztec architecture might have evolved in different historical contexts. Finally, the "Casa Tepohacayotl" is designed as a proposal that integrates these principles into a contemporary housing. It is concluded that Aztec architecture should not be considered a remnant of the past but rather a living source of inspiration for contemporary architecture. The research demonstrates that its reinterpretation is not only viable but also strengthens cultural identity in residential design, enabling a connection between the past and the present through innovative architectural strategies.
