Abstract

This academic essay focuses on the origins and development of the
patio popular, in specific in the 20th century when this typology appears
in Córdoba. It aims to not only contribute to the lacking of English
academic literature about the topic but also to create connections
between the historic context and its influence on the architecture of
the patio. This last is not present in the overall literature either.
The academic essay explores the historic context of Cordoba while
also making connections to the European and Spanish situations. It
presents events such as the agricultural crisis at the end of the 19th
century, the Spanish Civil War of 1936 and the Post-war situation
deeply influenced by the aftermath of the Second World War. With
this relationships have been drawn with the patios and their residents.
Lastly, the academic essay demonstrated the past difficulties of the
residents of the patios popular. This resulted in the organic growth
of the courtyard house and its adaptation to the circumstance of the
time. Also, a sense of community was created among its inhabitants
despite their difficulties.
