Architecture and Urbanism in Viceregal Mexico
Author: Juan Luis BurkePublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000383547
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
Architecture and Urbanism in Viceregal Mexico presents a fascinating survey of urban history between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. It chronicles the creation and development of Puebla de los Ángeles, a city located in central-south Mexico, during its viceregal period. Founded in 1531, the city was established as a Spanish settlement surrounded by important Indigenous towns. This situation prompted a colonial city that developed along Spanish colonial guidelines but became influenced by the native communities that settled in it, creating one of the most architecturally rich cities in colonial Spanish America, from the Renaissance to the Baroque periods. This book covers the city's historical background, investigating its civic and religious institutions as represented in selected architectural landmarks. Throughout the narrative, Burke weaves together sociological, anthropological, and historical analysis to discuss the city’s architectural and urban development. Written for academics, students, and researchers interested in architectural history, Latin American studies, and the Spanish American viceregal period, it will make an important contribution to the field.
Architecture and Its Sculpture in Viceregal Mexico

Book Description
From monumental cathedrals to simple parish churches, perhaps as many as 100,000 churches and civic buildings were constructed in Mexico during the viceregal or colonial period (1535-1821). Many of these structures remain today as witnesses to the fruitful blending of Old and New World forms and styles that created an architecture of enduring vitality. In this profusely illustrated book, Robert J. Mullen provides a much-needed overview of Mexican colonial architecture and its attendant sculpture. Writing with just the right level of detail for students and general readers, he places the architecture in its social and economic context. He shows how buildings in the larger cities remained closer to European designs, while buildings in the pueblos often included prehispanic indigenous elements. This book grew out of the author's twenty-five-year exploration of Mexico's architectural and sculptural heritage. Combining an enthusiast's love for the subject with a scholar's care for accuracy, it is the perfect introduction to the full range of Mexico's colonial architecture.

Book Description
This work is a survey of the urban history in viceregal Mexico chronicling the creation and development of Puebla de los Ángeles through the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. Puebla de los Ángeles was the second most important city in viceregal Mexico during this period and was an outstanding artistic and cultural centre. Using architecture and urbanism as a method for delving into the sophisticated social, political and cultural factors that shaped Puebla de los Ángeles's society, these themes are closely interwoven with important social and cultural issues such as the rise of Humanism in the city, religious festivities, environmental stewardship, racial and ethnic relations, as well as the history of science, amongst others.Written for a diverse audience, both knowledgeable in the subject or approaching it for the first time, Urbanism in Viceregal Mexico fills an important gap concerning urban biographies in the exciting field of colonial Mexico.
