Description
Summary:Although architecture and tourism have maintained a close relationship since the beginning of this activity, only a few years ago architectural criticism has begun to show interest on the phenomenonof tourism, emphasizing its importance for the understanding and the configuration of habitable space. In this context, this paper studies the three main relationships identified between the two disciplines, with special attention to architecture as a tourist attraction due to its new forms. Above all, it seeks to identify the architectural values raised during trips, to distinguish significant differences between the values raised by the academic environment and those raised by tourists, differences that are magnified in recent buildings and new interventions, which leads to reflect on the use of architecture by contemporary tourism and how the profession is responding to these new challenges.
