Abstract

The study analyzes three approaches: the sound medium and space, synesthesia and memory of older adults, and the sound medium and identity in the La Loma Grande neighborhood in Quito. Based on sound archives that facilitate the appropriation of space through memories.

Stories were collected that evoke missing spaces in the neighborhood, promoting a process of identity recovery and appropriation of the environment. Through the analysis, it was identified how sound repetition stimulates memory and facilitates the recreation of spaces through imagination.

It was shown that sound, by activating multiple senses, stimulates cognitive well-being and reconfigures sensory and social experiences, becoming a tool of resistance to the loss of physical spaces.

This study validates the importance of collective memory in the appropriation of territory and highlights the role of the sound archive in preserving the intangible heritage of communities.
