Palimpsesto espacial: disección anatómica de la Catedral de Toledo

Abstract

Las catedrales eran unos elementos vivos en constante cambio por los diferentes personajes y ritos que iban apareciendo en el tiempo para modificarlas. Eran, además, un espacio edificado en transformación permanente, que se alimentaba a diario de variadas dinámicas promovidas por los actores que participaban en su apropiación: la iglesia, la corona y el pueblo. Así, este espacio de convergencia se construía diariamente y sufría cambios de diferentes escalas, según la necesidad y la influencia de sus impulsores, haciendo de él un palimpsesto espacial. Al entender esto y considerando la catedral como una constante espacial en el transcurrir temporal de los siglos, lo que trae consigo una evolución permanente, la Catedral de Toledo se convierte en un reflejo de esas mutaciones, haciéndose evidente de manera física y evocándonos el concepto de ensamblaje en su espacio, el cual nos llega al presente como un legado cultural, en un estado que permite analizar las piezas y modificaciones. De esta manera, este estudio pretende, por medio de la disección arquitectónica del palimpsesto espacial, separar del cuerpo principal cada uno de los elementos que fueron apareciendo en el transcurso de los siglos a manera de modificaciones y añadiduras, para poder estudiarlos de manera autónoma. Al trabajar estos espacios y elementos de manera independiente, y entendiendo los partícipes de su realización y sus contextos, se busca ejemplificar posibles analogías y antecedentes que influenciaron el diseño de cada uno de ellos, esto a través de comparación de arquitecturas similares. Asimismo, al realizar el procedimiento quirúrgico a la anatomía de la Catedral, se teorizará acerca de cómo aparecen las juntas y relaciones morfológicas entre los elementos nuevos y los existentes, los cuales, debido a su intersección formal, generan unas tensiones espaciales únicas y de gran interés para ser estudiadas, ya que también reflejan conocimientos técnicos y estéticos de cada época. Como se explicaba anteriormente, la Catedral llega a nuestro presente de manera que refleja todos esos cambios temporales, dando paso a un constante interés en su patrimonio arquitectónico y legado cultural. Este mismo interés por el elemento arquitectónico, junto a los cambios de uso que presenta aún hoy la Catedral, hacen evidente que actualmente funciona, además, como un museo. Por esta razón, se plantea y proyecta una nueva adición que busca cumplir con la función de ser un espacio de exposición, necesidad actual que presenta el complejo catedralicio. El proyecto, al igual que los elementos adicionados en siglos pasados, busca establecer una nueva relación y una lectura del lugar para, además, poder exhibir en su interior la riqueza de sus tesoros culturales, arte religioso y contemporáneo, y la Catedral misma como elemento de contemplación.

Cathedrals were living elements in constant change due to the different characters and rites that appeared in time to modify them. They were also a built space in permanent transformation, which was nourished daily by various dynamics promoted by the actors who participated in its appropriation: the church, the crown and the local people. Thus, this space of convergence was built daily and underwent changes of different scales, according to the need and influence of its promoters, making it a spatial palimpsest. By understanding this and considering the cathedral as a spatial constant in the passing of the centuries, which brings with it a permanent evolution, the Cathedral of Toledo becomes a reflection of those mutations, becoming physically evident and evoking the concept of assembly in its space, which reaches us today as a cultural legacy, in a state that allows us to analyze the pieces and modifications. In this way, this study intends, by means of the architectural dissection of the spatial palimpsest, to separate from the main body each one of the elements that appeared in the course of the centuries as modifications and additions, to be able to study them in an autonomous way. By working these spaces and elements independently, and understanding the participants in their realization and their contexts, we seek to exemplify possible analogies and backgrounds that influenced the design of each of them, this through comparison of similar architectures. Likewise, when performing the surgical procedure to the anatomy of the Cathedral, it will be theorized about how the joints and morphological relationships appear between the new and existing elements, which, due to their formal intersection, generate unique and interesting spatial tensions to be studied, since they also reflect technical and aesthetic knowledge of each period. As explained above, the Cathedral reaches our present in a way that reflects all those temporal changes, giving way to a constant interest in its architectural heritage and cultural legacy. This same interest in the architectural element, together with the changes in use that the Cathedral still presents today, make it clear that it also functions as a museum. For this reason, a new addition has been planned and designed to fulfill the function of being an exhibition space, a current need presented by the cathedral complex. The project, as well as the elements added in past centuries, seeks to establish a new relationship and reading of the place in order to be able to exhibit in its interior the richness of its cultural treasures, religious and contemporary art, and the Cathedral itself as an element of contemplation.
