MOREYRA, Cecilia. CASA DE PATIOS AND DOMESTIC SPACE. CHANGES AND CONTINUITIES DURING THE 18TH AND 19TH CENTURIES, CÓRDOBA (ARGENTINA). Folia [online]. 2021, n.41, pp.33-58. ISSN 0325-8238.  http://dx.doi.org/10.30972/fhn.0415158.

The article describes and inquires the changes and continuities that casa de patios went through in city of Córdoba between the end of 18th century and the end of 19th century. In order to accomplish this objective, we compared two house plans. The first one was made at the end of 18th century, and the second one, at the end of 19th century. Both of them are contained in succession lawsuits preserved in the Historical Archive of the Provincia de Córdoba. The houses represented in the plans were located at central spaces of the city and were properties and habitation of families with a privileged socioeconomic position. The comparison will allow us to verify that, even though the house typology casa de patios remains over time, the place that certain rooms occupy within the domestic hierarchy is modified, and rooms with specific functions develop.
