Abstract

FRANCEL, Andrés  and  OJEDA, José Alejandro. Salesian Eclectic Architecture as a Material Result of Republican Political Context in Ibague (Colombia), 1904. Historelo.rev.hist.reg.local [online]. 2016, vol.8, n.15, pp.202-237. ISSN 2145-132X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/historelo.v8n15.47480.

In the early twentieth century, the Republican political restructuring in Colombia involved the predominance of government civil buildings over the religious (inherited from colonial rule). However, the largest architectural work in Ibague was the Carmelite church. This dilemma led to the investigation of notarial sources, photographic and cartographic collections, which obtained data were then compared to understand the relationship between architecture and the underlying social dynamics. Thus, was discovered the political, educational and religious structure which intervened in the architectural realization of ideas of that time, consistent that the government delegated in the religious orders the educational tasks necessary for national development, amalgamating political and educative trends with religious, to generate a strategy which publicized the architecture as a symbol of economic development.

Keywords : history of architecture; eclecticism; historicism; neobyzantine; re-publican.
