CONSIDERATIONS ON FORMATION AND TRANSFORMATION OF HOUSE TYPES IN THE OLD QUARTER OF CADIZ

摘要

This paper aims at clarifying the process of formation and transformation of house types in San Francisco area, in the old quarter of Cadiz. Authors did intensive fieldwork in the year 2009 to investigate 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 and their transformation through a time span of 400 years based on the fieldwork on their current situation. As a result, these types can be understood with respect to their main elements pertaining building morphology.
