Beskrivelse
Summary:This article addresses urban architecture in general and in particular, the spatial relationship between corners, crossroads and small squares know as plazuelas. It exemplifies the wealth of vernacular solutions in, and specifically the urban-architectural configuration of the city of Taxco, Mexico. To this end, by way of images and sketches it highlights and expresses the way in which this human settlement has responded to a complex topographical environment and achieved spatial synthesis characterized by homogeneity in diversity. When architecture strengthens community life, which has precariously arranged “its places,” it is relatively easy to “discover” the vocation of urban spaces. Therefore, the functional, formal, spatial urban-architectural response reinforces the sense of place and community ties, and strengthens dreams and history.
