| Sumario: | How and why is history useful to the architect in today’s world? The research focused on the role of designers in bringing back the historical precedents to bear on the present practice, and furthermore presented a synthesis of the theories and approaches on the matter in the last decades. The main objective is to elaborate a useful methodology to understand the urban form, the buildings and the public space at present, looking back to understand the meaning of things, and to illustrate that throughout different periods of time, history had been a design tool which allowed the architect to encounter the balance between permanence and change when modifying a site and offering users a new place where memories and hope could converge. In order to explore the link between the project and the history, the architecture of Morella, in Spain, was analyzed through pictures, historical drawings, plans, ethnographic reports, and in the current and ancient cartography. Furthermore, dialogic studies, urban morphology, space syntax and direct observation in the city were used as part of the methodology. The result is a longitudinal study about Morella as the main case study in which the morphological configurative studies, the design poetic act and, finally, the social use of space converged. In conclusion, the methodology used proved to be extremely useful to elaborate a new architectural interpretation of Morella, and to explain how and why the city took the shape it currently has. |
