The 1927 reform of the old University of Osuna: a radical change in the image of the building
Journal Title: UcoArte. Revista de Teoría e Historia del Arte - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
The current image of the building of the old University of Osuna is very different from its original conception in the 16th century. Since 1548 both the building and its surroundings have changed, through a historical process of conscious approaching to the supposed original theoretical model of Renaissance. The renovation in 1927 is a milestone in this process and has set the reference for subsequent interventions, contributing to its current state: the “Ducal Acropolis”, with isolated buildings arranged on platforms and terraces. However, it is more the result of restoration criteria in 19th century and regionalist elements.
