| Sumario: | [EN] The research focuses on the Gothic architectural project in Spain, through a specific case study: the layout of the church of San Esteban in Salamanca, which was carried out by Juan de Álava in 1524. Its formal and structural design processes are analysed, two aspects that have rarely been studied together. To this end, the knowledge of the Gothic masters, known from drawings and treatises of the period, is considered. The process of drawing the layout is analysed based on the incised auxiliary lines. These formed a simple orthogonal grid, which served formal and structural design. This structural design is compared with the rules of some Central European treaties, which used elementary numerical proportions. These proportions are also evident in the study plan. The San Esteban plan was designed considering both formal and dimensional aspects. These elements are essential for proposing graphic hypotheses that accurately reflect the knowledge of that time. This research enables a more comprehensive understanding of this important Spanish late Gothic drawing and highlights the need for a solid epistemological and methodological basis for its study. |
