The ditches of México City and implications on residential buildings of the XVIII centuy

Known for its canals or by its designation in the New Spain as ditches, the image of aquatic city of Mexico City was widespread in the world.

It would seem that those romantic references of the city had been left alone in the lines written by the chroni- clers, but when analyzing architectural plans and current cadastral can glimpse vestiges of this lake- side past. This research is done by analyzing eigh- teenth century plans, through identification of ex- isting ditches in Mexico City during this period, and its current trajectory in a plane, performing both an analysis of their influence on residen- tial architecture, determining the characteristics of the houses in the path of the canals, by classi- fying canal houses, depending on the level of re- lationship between these two constructive genera. Conocida por sus canales o por su desig- nación novohispana de acequias, la ima- gen de ciudad acuática de la Ciudad de Méxi- co fue ampliamente difundida en el mundo. Tal pareciera que aquellas referencias románticas de la ciudad, hubieran quedado sólo en las líneas escritas por los cronistas. Sin embargo, al analizar planos arquitectónicos y catastrales actuales, se pu- eden vislumbrar vestigios de este pasado lacustre. A través de esta investigación se realiza, mediante el análisis de planos del siglo XVIII, una identificación de las acequias existentes en la Ciudad de México du- rante este período, así como su trayectoria en un plano actual, y realizando, a la vez, un análisis de su influ- encia en la arquitectura habitacional, determinando las características particulares de las viviendas que se encuentran en el trayecto de las acequias, mediante una clasificación de casas con acequia, dependiendo el nivel de relación entre estos dos géneros constructivos.
