Relevos patrimoniales en la construcción del paisaje urbano: la plaza Nueva de Sevilla.

This article looks in depth at the construction of the first haussmanian public space in the south of Spain, the plaza Nueva in Seville, as well as the reasons that led to the dismantling of its architectural unity and, therefore, part of its heritage values. The loss of the original design unity derives from the introduction of historicist models and the Modern Movement, in which the singularity of architecture is given priority over the homogeneity of the urban project. Real estate speculation and the celebration of the 1929 Ibero-American Exhibition built a functional and aesthetically capitalist scenario that limited the social activities of a square originally conceived as a collective meeting point. Through the sequence of elaborated planimetries we can observe the change of paradigm from illustrated values to developmental strength. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
