[163]-169) and index.The interaction of space and place : the Mexican mixture / by Fernando Núñez -- The urban evolution of the colonial city : Queretaro, 1531-1910 / by Carlos Arvizu -- From revolution to industrial society : Queretaro, 1910 to the modern age / by Carlos Arvizu and Ramón Abonce.Metaphysical conceptions have always influenced how human societies create the built environment. Mexico--with its rich culture, full of symbol and myth, its beautiful cities, and its evocative ruins--is an excellent place to study the interplay of influences on space and place. In this volume, the authors consider the ideas and views that give the constructed spaces and buildings of Mexico--especially, of Queretaro--their particular ambience. They explore the ways the built world helps people find meaning and establish order for their earthly existence by mirroring their metaphysical assumptions, and they guide readers through time to see how the transformation of worldviews affects the urban evolution of a Mexican city. The authors, then, construct a "metaphysical archeology" of space and place in the built landscape of Mexico. In the process, they identify the intangible, spiritual aspects of this land. Not only scholars of architecture, but also archeologists and anthropologists--particularly those interested in Mexican backgrounds and culture--will appreciate the authors' approach and conclusions.Studies in architecture and culture ;no. 7.City planningMexicoQuerétaroHistoryLandscape assessmentMexicoPublic spacesMexicoUrbanizationMexicoQuerétaroHistoryCity planningHistory.Landscape assessmentPublic spacesUrbanizationHistory.307.1/2160972Núñez Fernando(Luis Fernando Núñez Urquiza)1868550Abonce Ramón1868551Arvizu García Carlos1868552Quantrill Malcolm1931-2009.1861570MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910956886603321Space and place in the Mexican landscape4476513UNINA
