| Sumario: | The article presents an analysis of the shapes and measures regarding the garden suburbs that contributed in the formation of the Buenos Aires metropolitan area along the first half of the twentieth century. In this case, we display the drawings corresponding to the West sprawl in order to make possible a detailed and comparative morphological study that helps to understand the formation of the metropolitan areas, as well as to rehearse a characterization of the “garden suburb” according to the particular features assumed in the Great Buenos Aires area.Preliminary results show a diverse scenario in which we assist to the preeminence of low density, freehold land allotments as the main characteristic shared by the analyzed pieces, at the expense of other variables like urban design or urban tissue. |
