Abstract
El ornamento arquitectónico es ese punto de encuentro entre el arte y la arquitectura, que ha permitido una mayor colaboración entre ambas disciplinas a lo largo de la historia, enriqueciendo estética y expresivamente los edificios y centros históricos de las ciudades. Sin embargo, con la llegada de la industrialización al ámbito de la construcción, se produjo una alteración significativa en las dinámicas existentes. Este cambio de paradigma supuso la pérdida progresiva de aquellas valiosas manos de artistas y artesanos que trabajaban enriqueciendo la expresión de los edificios. Con su desaparición, muchos de los lenguajes ornamentales fueron desplazados en aras de una depuración formal y expresiva, que seguía las nuevas lógicas industriales de la estandarización. Conforme avanzaba el siglo XX, y el ornamento iba desapareciendo progresivamente de los nuevos edificios, se generó un distanciamiento de una gran parte del público, que se veía incapaz de interpretar y conectar emocionalmente con la nueva arquitectura carente aparentemente de expresión...
