LOPEZ, Cecilia  and  SIERRA, David Felipe. Bioclimatic conditioners in the colonial architecture of Colombia: the house-yard in. Estoa [online]. 2018, vol.7, n.12, pp.7-26. ISSN 1390-9274.  https://doi.org/10.18537/est.v007.n012.a01.

The urban housing of colonial times, shows a symbiosis of the Spanish typological model with vernacular materials. They were one-storey dwellings built with earthy materials and an inner courtyard around which the living room, the bedroom area and a multiple space serving as a food, seed, firewood and working tools deposit were available. However, popular architecture is conceived in response to the conditions of its environment. The model of Spanish colonial architecture was conceived, implanting architectural answers with criteria of comfort derived from the European climatological conditions. The present article presents the results of the analysis of the Spanish typologies, implemented in two Colombian cities: Cartagena and Bogotá; With a bioclimatic analysis that allows to determine similarities and differences between the two cities and aspects that can be replicated in the current architecture.

Keywords : Bioclimatic; Spanish typologies; Colombian colonial housing.
