Abstract

This article reflects upon projects in architecture from a critical point of view and the urban and architectural repercussions of such projects as well. Also the way in which such architecture projects transform the city is reflected upon, and how the architect should take on the responsibility of building a historical and urban continuity and also be committed to a common past. All that precedes an architecture project conditions that project, but often it is omitted, this has marked our urban and architectural tradition negatively.

Keywords:

Santa Lucia hill, urban and architectural tradition, historical continuity.
