Abstract:
The current rules of projecting contemporary architecture are different from other historical periods. There are some rules and laws that composes each different styles. The treaty writers recover classical composition with order and balancing geometric figures, especially for façades and doorways, improving the architectural production at that time. The architects of the 17th century knew the treaties and they applied on their buildings, so we can talk about a culture architecture and by analysing their works, it brings us closer to its process. Such is the case of the façade of the church of Santiago de Benicalaf (Valencia) -Spain- in which by following the most relevant Spanish treaties, many of those rules are reflected. This study allows us to get closer to the architect, in addition to establishing the architectural work as an architectural reference within its heritage context.
