Content
Guatemala is a country with a millenary history, where different cultures, civilizations and empires have appeared, developed, invaded and conquered, disappeared and mixed each other. Each civilization that crossed by Mesoamerica has developed its urbanistic and habitational spaces in relation to the cosmos, environment and nature. However, five hundred years ago, these concepts were mixed and have influenced the urban and spatial concepts that the Spanish conquerors have brought from the Old World, until creating and developing an architecture that reflexes the Guatemala identity and its relation to nature.
On the Day of Guatemala in Vaduz, architect Carlos José Arroyave Prera, Minister Counsellor of the Embassy of Guatemala in Liechtenstein with residence in Bern, exposes about the multicultural and historic richness of the architecture in Guatemala, a country composed by 23 Indigenous ethnic groups, and at the same time, invites you to know his country through a little historic resume on the Guatemalan Architecture and Urbanism.
