Arquitectura y urbanismo en Galicia. Alejandro Sesmero, arquitecto municipal de Vigo.

Abstract

Trough the study of the work done by Alejandro R. Sesmero in Vigo we try to contribute to the knowledge of the relation between architecture made by masons in Galician cities during the last thirty years of the XIXth century and the roll that these professionals played in the construction of bourgeois cities. The conflicts between architects and masons in this period is also analysed in this article. During those years, the number of architects in Spain was so short that there were many masons who had to do the work that only the architects were legally able to do. We also bring forward some news about life and professional trajectory of Alejandro R. Sesmero.
