Estructuras metálicas en la arquitectura venezolana, 1874-1935
註釋Study that explores with historiographic detail the architecture legacy of Venezuela from the foundation of the Ministry of Public Works in 1874 by Antonio Guzmn Blanco to the death of Juan Vicente GÑmes in 1935. The study comprises the history of the buildings constructed with metallic structures or elements (iron steel frames and cast iron models) as the result of industrial procedures and examines the main architectural manifestations produced using steel, a material not strongly accepted in the local constructive culture despite its abundance in the country. An important referential work while the use of steel in architecture after the Industrial Revolution was widely used in Europe by architects and engineers defenders of the French Academia tradition and promoters of the visible metallic structures, this construction method would not have a significant impact in Latin America architecture. The author presented the present text as doctoral thesis in 2006.
