This paper proposes an analysis of the referents and conditions that constitute popular peasant housing in the Ecuadorian provinces of Azuay and Cañar, as an expression and form of vernacular architecture. The study begins by problematizing the system of rural living. Spatial configurations are described and analyzed in the framework of a conceptual scheme that takes context as a node to articulate meaning and analysis, based on reflections by Jorge Pokropek (2020), who raises the relationship between social practices and spatial configurations. This relationship carries meaning and identity to define logics of coherence as a mechanism of interpretation and production of interior design. It also brings the notion of form proposed by Dora Giordano (2018) as a cultural product, and Joseph María Montaner who proposes to understand the form as a structure, beyond the geometric configuration. The reflections and analysis on the subject that is exposed are based on data obtained in a research carried out between the University of Cuenca and the University of Azuay in 2016. The data consists of data itself and drawings by hand -pen nibs and observation cards- of the vernacular architecture between 1977 and 1978 in the provinces of Azuay and Cañar.

Palabras clave : Ways of inhabit; notion of form; house morphology; peasant housing; vernacular architecture.
