"hipo_TESIS_Vlc" is a choreographic exercise that visualises, using the collage technique, the imagined, planned and projected city of Valencia over the last 50 years. This work is part of the research project "Las ciudades y sus tesis. A historiographic and analytical repository of theses on Iberian cities 1970-2020" with a triple objective: to have a standard register of theses focused on urban studies of Iberian cities; to have a disciplinary and historiographic overview of the cities based on the theses produced and to have a comparative vision. The fragmentary vision of "urban scraps" offered by the "hipo_ TESIS_Vlc" panel, then joined and woven together utilising a collage, represents a method of analysis and reflection that offers ideas that could be extrapolated to the urban studies of other cities. The main conclusions of the work focus on affirming that: the city, as a set of theses in recomposition, is a field of research to deepen a renewed vision of urban studies; the theses of cities constitute a record of the key references for the construction of their urban historiography and to recompose their past, often forgotten or invisibilised.

This article presents new visual and historiographical contributions regarding the 1570 foundational traza of Mancha Real, conserved at Granada's Royal Chancery Archive as the single surviving graphic document from the new settlement project executed by the Castilian crown in Jaén's Sierra Sur between 1508 and 1539. At its peak, this colonizing process was coordinated by Madrid-based judge Juan de Rivadeneyra between April and August 1539. He worked hand in hand with a commission of notaries, builders, and surveyors who applied urban practices parallel to those developed in Latin America since 1501. They were supported by a still young Juan de Reolid as the official plan tracer of the process. The foundational traza conserved today is a 1570 direct copy of Reolid's work from 1539. Even though this copy does not adequately reproduce either Reolid's calligraphy or his artistic gesture, it does feature the same graphic, cartographic, and notarial criteria applied in other latitudes of the Spanish Empire.

In the occasion of the project "La Huella del Metro" impelled by the Service of Historical Heritage of Metro de Madrid, is made this investigation around the drawing of the patrimonial elements of the institution and its relation with the city. With the oAbjective of synthesizing and transmitting the history and the development of this important urban infrastructure, we reflect on the strategies and graphic processes of this experience, made in coordination and complement with other agents. Having as reference other historical drawings, digital models by restitution processes and graphical reconstitution processes that establish the bases to elaborate a deliberate edition set, unified by a narrative will directed to the transmission of this values and their memory to the society.
