Abstract
El artículo reseña algunos de los aportes realizados por la arquitecta Ofelia Sanou en la comprensión de la historia de la ciudad de San José, capital de Costa Rica. Aportes que, particularmente, aluden a los procesos de modernización vinculados a los paseos, los parques y las arquitecturas de internación de finales del siglo XIX e inicios del siglo XX. Para esto, se toman tres publicaciones de la autora afines a dichas temáticas y se analizan considerando su contenido. A partir de lo anterior, se enmarca el abordaje de Sanou dentro de una historia cultural urbana preocupada por la ciudad como lugar de producción de significados. Además, se visibiliza las características de este abordaje y las interrogantes que posibilita.
This article reviews the contributions made by Costa Rican architect Ofelia Sanou toward an understanding of the history of San José, Costa Rica’s capital city. Those contributions in particular allude to the processes of modernizing walkways, parks, and the hospital architectures present at the end of the XIX and start of the XX centuries. To this end, three of the author’s publications which relate to said topics are analyzed in terms of their development and content. Based on that analysis, Sanou’s approach is framed within urban cultural history concerned with the city as a place in which meanings are produced. Moreover, the characteristics of this approach, and the questions raised which it makes possible, are brought into close focus
