Considerations on urban form in the old quarter of Cadiz (Spain) Part2 -House types-

摘要

This research aims to clarify the process of formation and transformation of house types in San Francisco area, in the old quarter of Cadiz and goes back to 2009, when the authors did extensive fieldwork to clear up the current condition of extant buildings, compiling a database for 83 heritage properties registered as architectural heritage by the local authorities. Historical records and planning documents have been used to trace back the origins of these types, their transformation through a time span of 400 years and their current situation. As a result, these types can be understood with respect to their main elements pertaining building morphology.
