Two examples of a villa in Mérida in the middle of the 20th century: the beginnings in the occupation of an archaeological environment
Journal Title: UcoArte. Revista de Teoría e Historia del Arte - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
In the present article we offer a study about two projects for a villa that were carried out in Mérida (Badajoz) at the end of the 40s and 50s of the 20th century, framed within the general architectural panorama of that time in Spain for family dwellings Accommodated. Through them can be seen the coexistence of traditional lines with others that strive to be novel, at a time when the newly qualified architects have their fundamental inspiration in national historicisms or in previous European movements. The projects studied correspond to an area of population expansion, where the adaptation of urban and architectural actions to the archaeological environment that sustains them, in the case of historic cities, becomes a challenge that will sometimes take decades to materialize.
