Archeology and Architecture in Heritage Conservation. The Case of 32 República de Cuba Street, Mexico City

The case of the Republica de Cuba # 32.

Abstract

In the second half of the nineteenth century, the architecture was in a process of transition, where housing models inherited from the colonial period began to be overcome, in the search for new programs and new materials. The archaeological analysis of the multi-family dwellings built in this period, allows us to recognize the different social dynamics that its inhabitants developed, when encountering a new distribution of spaces.
