The Fontanar Neighborhood: Urban- Architectural Characterization with a Systemic Environmental Approach
Keywords:
Fontanar neighborhood, modern architectural urban heritage, systemic analysis, integration of natural and built componentsAbstract
The Fontanar neighborhood is an exponent of the Cuban urban-architectural development of the 50s, which has been little studied up to now. This work had the objective of making an urban and architectural characterization of the neighborhood, through the integration of natural and built components, in its historical and social evolution. It starts from a systemic and integrated approach in the management of the natural and built environment, supported by the theories of Systems and Complexity, with emphasis on the integrated management of physical- environmental variables. An analysis methodology is provided, and a documentary base of the neighborhood, useful for its future development, and for the knowledge of the urbanization processes of Havana. Conclusion: The Fontanar neighborhood stands out for its urban and architectural functionality and its gradual socio-spatial integration, expressed in constructive and stylistic transformations that have not affected its original expression, giving it value as an urban sector.
