Abstract
The modernization and consolidation of the
capital of the State of Yucatan was achieved by
means of building public use buildings, a comprehensive
work on infrastructure, and building
housing of all socioeconomic levels. Collectively,
it was thought that these proposals leaned
towards European buildings; however, each and
every one of them had to adhere to a strict legal
code. These compendiums of regulations presented
the elements to be taken into account
when requesting a construction permit, and regulated
both the relationship of the object to be
built with its environment and the formal aspects,
as well as its structural quality. According
to the previous context, the purpose of this document
is to analyze the impact of the instructions
presented in the codes and regulations on
the materialization of Porfirio’s modern city, taking
into account this documentation has been
disregarded in the interpretive processes of the
local urban-architectonic actions.
