| Abstract |
In Spanish-American cities the centre has followed a panicular pattern that gives it an important recognition in the shaping of the urban structure. The origins can be traced back to the Law of the in...dies, where the Spanish prescribed the structure around a square. Therefore, this study focuses on the physical form of the city, which means characteristics and typologies of block and lot sub-division as well as the traditional colonial Spanish housing type through the case study of City of Granada, Nicaragua. First, it explores the original block typology based on the Law of the Indies in order to point out the shape, dimension and proportional attributes. Then, it clarifies the present conditions and how it evolved through the urban process, showing as a result the present block and lot typology. The results are useful for identifying the existent physical conditions of the HUC of Granada, and in addition, it clarifies the major transformation of the urban environment.show more
