Description
Summary:Research must be led by institutions of higher education in order to be linked in a meaningful way with the strategic and productive sectors of the country. The objective is to identify and prioritize research topics on Ecuadorian architecture from a socioeconomic, technological and educational perspective. Material - Method: Consensus of 15 university teachers using the Delphi technique, developed in two consecutive phases: (i) identification of gaps and (ii) establishment of priorities. The results were ordered according to the median and standard deviation. It is evident the need to investigate technological aspects in the construction processes, their effects on the socio-economic dynamics and the impact on the environment and its natural cycles, as an inheritance of the passage of time in the territories and the consolidation of cities. The university becomes the transmitter of research for the generation of knowledge, allowing professionals to provide timely and relevant answers to the needs of cities, their citizens and economic, environmental, social and cultural processes.
