The Model Etpset – A Duality between Heritage and History
The ET-PSET Model is oriented to historically analyze an artwork that is visually admired for their beauty, symbolism and historical value to envision the context that surrounded its creation, thus establishing a duality between history and heritage. This paradigm allows a historiography that focuses on the historical-artistic aspect of the masterpiece creating therefore, a link between the epoch in which the heritage piece was created and the present, allowing the architect to experience the past, in terms of variables of Space and Time and: Political, Socio-cultural, Economic and Technological aspects that would solve uncertainties about patronage, technology and trends, among others. An essay performed with this model in the Cathedral of the city of Sucre, considered a UNESCO World Heritage, concluded with a historiography that shows how artistic and cultural trends and interactions underwent social classes problems, political struggles and especially, economic and technological limitations. This explains its plain architecture with simple construction techniques and moderate proportions, compared with their similar in other cities.
