| Zusammenfassung: | Maracaibo, Venezuela's oil exploitation center, has organized its urban structure based on the Spanish traditional squared city planning since the XVII century, whose development presented a uniform structure. The XIX century dynamic growth added different shapes: Closed Villas, which added new paradigms that created a new space order. This work covers two closely link aspects. On one hand, the housing solution offer for middle and upper-middle class people; on the other hand this kind of urban development implies the creation of new urban patterns and codes, and meanings to its citizen's collective memory. It goes over the planning action and housing construction statu quo. It also shows the new experiences done in the 90's, which through the building of fortification walls expresses self-protection and disciplinary control of the social relationships. The research uses documental analysis, planimetric and direct observation of the urban phenomenon as a tool to help drawing the changes produced. These are helpful for the process understanding as well as the critical theory, as for teaching, the professional practice and the city planning. |
