Urban dimension and perception at the Classic Maya city of Palenque

In this article I address two interrelated topics: space construction and the perception of the built environment at Palenque, Chiapas, during the Late Classic Period. Starting from the study of Palenque’s urban morphology and by using Geographic Information System’s tools, I aim at underlying inten...

Starting from the study of Palenque’s urban morphology and by using Geographic Information System’s tools, I aim at underlying intentionality in specific buildings’ position and to explore how people’s urbanity, that is their condition in the city and the experience of otherness, would have transformed their perception of the environment. To this end, I will consider some characteristics of the environment such as labor investment, infrastructure and resource access, land subdivision in architectural groups and their distribution. I argue that these elements, if considered in relation with circulation and visibility, suggest specific planning strategies and point to social status difference within city sectors and their inhabitants. En este artículo me interesa abordar dos temas estrechamente relacionados: construcción y percepción del entorno urbano en la ciudad de Palenque, Chiapas, durante el Clásico Tardío. A partir del estudio de la morfología urbana de Palenque, y con el uso de herramientas de análisis de un Sistema de Información Geográfica, me interesa evidenciar la intencionalidad en el posicionamiento de edificios significativos con el fin de crear visuales impactantes, y explorar de qué manera la percepción del entorno hubiera cambiado de acuerdo a la urbanidad de los actores, es decir, conforme a su condición en la ciudad y el vivir juntos experimentando al otro. Para estos fines, considero diferentes aspectos del asentamiento, como lo son la inversión en mano de obra, la presencia de infraestructura y el acceso a los recursos, la sectorización en grupos y su diversa distribución. Propongo que estos elementos, aunados a la circulación y la visibilidad, apuntan hacia específicas estrategias de planeación, pero también sugieren diferencias de estatus entre sectores de la ciudad y, por ende, entre sus habitantes.  Restauro Compás y Canto S.A. 2021-02-10 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículos evaluados por pares application/pdf https://editorialrestauro.com.mx/gremium/index.php/gremium/article/view/88 Revista Gremium; Vol. 8 No. 15 (2021): Arquitectura maya; 75-90 Revista Gremium; Vol. 8 Núm. 15 (2021): Arquitectura maya; 75-90 2007-8773 spa https://editorialrestauro.com.mx/gremium/index.php/gremium/article/view/88/45 https://editorialrestauro.com.mx/gremium/index.php/gremium/article/view/88/25 Derechos de autor 2021 Arianna Campiani https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0
