Abstract
En el libro La ciudad y su paisaje, que el autor
define como muy alejado del urbanismo, Julio
Cano recoge sus reflexiones sobre la ciudad
histórica por medio del estudio de varias ciudades
españolas analizadas a través de numerosos
dibujos. Destaca la importancia dada a la ciudad
de Madrid en dos vertientes: su relación con el
paisaje circundante mediante su fachada urbana
volcada sobre el río Manzanares, y su paisaje
interior, ejemplificado por la escena urbana
formada por las calles Gran Vía y Alcalá.
En el libro se entremezclan análisis de la situación
histórica y actual de los conjuntos madrileños
con propuestas de actuación para ellos.
Estas propuestas, como el parque lineal para el
Manzanares o la ampliación del Ministerio de
Marina, resultan muy similares a actuaciones
construidas con posterioridad en los mismos
escenarios de la ciudad como son Madrid Río
y la ampliación del Banco de España de Rafael
Moneo. En esta investigación se analizan las
convergencias y divergencias, metodológicas y
morfológicas, entre las propuestas teóricas de
Julio Cano y los proyectos construidos referidos
anteriormente. Se pretende poner en valor
los planteamientos urbanos de Julio Cano
Lasso, y su consideración de la ciudad como
la más importante creación humana.
In his book The city and its landscape, Julio Cano collected his reflections on the historical city. In this book, which the author defines as far from urbanism, several Spanish cities are studied, through texts and numerous drawings. It is stricking the importance given to the city of Madrid in two ways: its relationship with the surrounding landscape through its urban facade overturned on the Manzanares River, and its interior landscape, exemplified by the urban scene formed by the Gran Vía and Alcalá streets. The book analyzes the historical and current status of these urban ensembles of Madrid and also suggests possible lines of action in them. These proposals, such as the Linear Park of Manzanares River or the Ministry of Marine extending, are very similar to urban projects actually built in the city some years later, as Madrid Río and the Bank of Spain expansion of Rafael Moneo. In this research we analize the convergences and divergences, both methodological and morphological, between Julio Cano’s theoretical proposals and those real projects. It aims to focus on Julio Cano Lasso’s urban approaches and his consideration of the city as the most important of human creations.
