| その他の書誌記述: | The purpose of this essay is to investigate historically the use, importation and first production of mosaics for floors and walls in the city of San José, in the period between 1880 and 1905; known as urban modernization of San José. By then, the wealth generated by the cultivation and export of coffee to international markets allowed, like other Latin American cities, the capital of Costa Rica to be urbanistically modernized, so that San José’s upper and middle strata changed their consumption patterns accordingly. This was expressed directly in public and residential architecture, works in which, along with the architectural languages and construction techniques, the design of the internal space also experimented notable changes. The most notorious change was the introduction of Victorian design mosaics on the floors and walls of certain rooms. For that reason, this essay investigates the evolution of importation, first, and then the production of mosaics in Costa Rica: showing different techniques that were used traditionally, as terracotta, ceramics and hydraulic cement. |
