La narración fotográfica del proceso constructivo de la catedral de León (1869 - 1879)
(Servicio de Publicaciones Universidad de Navarra, 2016) Fernández-Martínez, M. (Margarita)
León Cathedral in the nineteenth century, suffered great restoration carried out by several architects including the figure of Juan de Madrazo and Kuntz, architect director of the restoration work in the period (1869-1879). In this period a series of photographs related to the environment of the cathedral and also related to the restoration of this cathedral is done. The photographs bring us in history a constructive process that allows us to appreciate the architectural development of the works, and the use of the mechanisms used in execution. Photographs related to the restoration of the cathedral, are made as an illustration of the latent reform that was running, and in turn are created evolutionary stages of the construction process of architecture, and thus making a photographed series that allows form as an explanatory guide the course of the work carried out. The selection of photographs is done by a group of three types: the environment in which an overview of the existing building, the construction process of restoration and finally the materialization of the building is observed. This photography project presented demonstrates the ability of photography and early nineteenth century as an architectural sample showed a constructive process.
