Abstract

The succession of proposals that were arbitrated for the area of Amara in Donostia - San
Sebastián (Spain) resort to the theories and urban models of the moment. These are of considerable
interest, since the time in which they occur coincides with the passage of the old urbanistic ways to the
new ones, resulting from the first Spanish Land Law and the new winds of architectural culture. Hence,
the objective of this article is to show the paradigm shift in urban design to the rationalist model through
the Partial Plan of Amara, located in an emblematic area of Donostia. Therefore, given the evolution in
the design of its proposals, this project can be considered a historical milestone and to carry out its
detailed investigation, consultations have been made in various local archives and a large bibliography
on a national and international scale has been used on the theory and history of urban design in the
second half of the 20th century. This study draws conclusions that together are positive and based on
three aspects: the scope of study as a piece of the city as a whole, the changing nature of the proposals
and the solution finally used.
