Rogelio Salmona

Sinopsis del Libro

Colombian architect Rogelio Salmona has translated pragmatic and poetic concepts and intentions into physical form. These result from the architect's deep communion with and understanding of the materials and processes, as well as of the historic-cultural context in which his architectural intervention takes place. Salmona's oeuvre, including such notable examples as the Torres del Parque (1967) in Bogota, the Presidential House for Illustrious Guests (1981) in Cartagena, the Quimbaya Museum (1983) in Armenia and the National Archive of the Nation (1992) in Bogota, is without doubt one of the most prolific and significant of those produced on this continent during the second half of this century. This book, a tribute to, rather than an exhaustive study of the architect's work, consists of a personal and selective interpretation at the iconographic and textual level, in particular of the work which post-dated the Torres del Parque.

La obra plantea un recorrido por la arquitectura y el urbanismo europeos de la Edad Moderna, desde la consideración del espacio y la estructura arquitectónica como partes de un lenguaje arquitectónico vinculado al Clasicismo, que se articula a través de los órdenes clásicos, sus normas y sus proporciones, generando a su vez unos espacios arquitectónicos y urbanos vinculados a los usos culturales, ideológicos y políticos del momento. Desde este planteamiento, la obra aborda temas como el estudio del lenguaje de los órdenes arquitectónicos y los debates teóricos surgidos en torno a...

Historia de la arquitectura del Paraguay, 1537-1911
