The study of the different ways of living is essential to be able to understand social relations, the evolution of human settlements or even the articulation of the territory. Throughout history, these forms of living have generated various building and construction typologies, which have been transformed as they incorporate new demands and benefits for habitability and comfort. The analysis of construction systems, materials, techniques, solutions, regulations, and also the appearance of new social classes or the disappearance of some others, make up a whole specific body of study, which you can check in this fund. Integrated into the analyzes of building typologies, a wide collection of studies have been included here that treat the facade as a main constructive element at the same time that singles out the form and image of architecture in different historical stages.
