Two peerspectives to the East of the Retiro

Abstract

This paper analyzes two perspectives drawn by the architect Lorenzo Gallego Llausás for two urbanization plans in the area of Madrid to the East of the Retiro. The target is to investigate why two drawings predictably made by the same author and so close in time use graphic resources so different for its task of depicting the city that is been planned. The study of the circumstances that conditioned its gestation will serve us to understand how these differences respond mainly to the urban approach of the proposals they convey. These drawings illustrate how the features of the container (the drawing of the city in this case) are intrinsically related to the intention of the contents: that is, the urbanization plan.
