El paisaje del barrio histórico universitario

Description

The BUAP is in charge of the custody and dignification of 45 buildings located in the polygonal that includes the area of monuments declared as such in 1972 and expanded in 1985 in the National Catalogue of Monuments of the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH). Of these buildings, a total of 39 are registered in the aforementioned document with the purpose of their preservation. The spectrum of architectural typologies included in this collection includes the ecclesiastical and educational typologies of Jesuit schools, but also civil architecture. The richness of its typologies ranges from monuments of the 16th and 17th centuries that have planimetry and elements of Renaissance decorative art to those defined by 19th-century eclecticism, art nouveau and functionalists. This book is part of an academic project initiated by the Dirección de Patrimonio Histórico Universitario of the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP) in 2018. Part of its functions is to disseminate, promote and value the set of cultural assets that make up this heritage. Its richness denotes the importance of our Institution in the nomination of Puebla in the list of World Heritage Cities. This work will be presented in two volumes, in which it will study the 45 buildings that our Institution has managed to preserve and manage over nearly four decades.
