| Sumario: | The main objective of this paper was the knowledge and recognition of the spaces of the dwellings occupied by the elite-bourgeois society in Yucatan taking into account the main activities carried out inside them. After identifying archetypical areas, two approaches were undertaken: the first one explored each space and specified its functional dynamics, formal elements and symbolic characterization as well as stated the objects found inside. On the the other hand, the other approach analyzed each space as part of a whole. The study universe was formed by houses built between 1886-1916. The analysis was done with the tools used for the study of everyday life and the understanding of architectural space. The sources of information were varied and abundant, including plans, pictures, newspapers and periodicals. This approach allows understanding the phenomena of spatial compartmentalization, the functional specialization and the relationship between matter and its symbolic conception. |
