• Resumen

  • After a preface that outlines the conception of the book, the first chapter ("Breaking Eurithmia") introduces the theoretical framework of his study by engaging Yi-Fu Tuan's Space and Place: The Perspective of Experience (1977), especially the distinction that he makes between place (security) and space (freedom). [...]with an architectural metaphor, de Armas lays a solid foundation in his newest monograph, opening up a rich space for future studies on Cervantine architectures to build upon. The original and insightful analyses that this book offers, coupled with de Armas's ingenious ability to combine art and literature are a fertile ground to consider how humans interact with and are transformed by the built environment.
