Vivienda y ciudad colonial
註釋The author studies the importance of housing construction in the colonial city of Santa Fe (Argentina), and how these constructed spaces were fundamental in the historic transformations on a urban space that followed the model of the square grid urban design present in all the Hispano-American colonial cities (Latin America and the Caribbean). The urban importance of the constructed domestic spaces is generally ignored in the historiography of Colonial Hispanic architecture, and the earliest studies on colonial houses (Casa de los Azulejos in Mexico; Palacio de Torre-Tagle in Lima and Casa del Moral in Arequipa) are centered on their architectural and ornamentation characteristics. Architect Calvo presents a urban and architectural perspective and concludes that although the process of the construction of the city of Santa Fe required large civil and religious constructions, it was the sum of the individual acts of edification of housing that ultimately constituted the urban grid and landscape design.
