Abstract

The setting up of one family-housing "colonies" or estates marked Madrid's urban thinking during the first third of this century. The survival of this mode of housing has been, however, threatened by such estates becoming not only atypical within the overall urban trend of the city but aslo b y the consequences of social shifts and those changes brought about by changes in urban planning permission. This essay brings to light that range of typifyng and building non-variables that characterize these "colonies" and makes special reference to those of these have serves as specific reference points for more recent housing. A close study is made of those changes undergone by these conceptual non-variables throughout the period in which they' have been in use, this being done to the end of drawing up that scheme of references with which such groupings of houses could best be preserved, it being the author's opinion that these measures needs must cover not only the formal and external definition of such groupings but the siting of their architectural units as well.
