	beach front / la rambla
		Indeed, la rambla is a public space where we become visible to ourselves (for it “returns” an image of ourselves as when we stand in front of a mirror), as well as to others, as on it we perform a series of public rites within a larger social drama.
		In such dynamics la rambla is sign of a stalemate between two projects of Montevideo, and it stands as a suture, happy medium and gateway between the Old Center and the new urban centers, apparently welding and bringing together a city with a tendency to fall apart.
		La rambla’s own very spatial and formal features add much to our difficulties because la rambla does work as a façade and blocking screen which gives—and fixes—a powerful (yet untrue) image to the city, one that, therefore, impedes us from seeing what is behind the image, behind the screen, or at a distance.

	The Rambla of Barcelona
		Until the beginning of the 18th century La Rambla consisted merely of a path beside a stream running between convents on one side and the old city walls on the other.
		In 1775 the old city walls by the Drassanes medieval shipyards were demolished, and toward the end of the 18th century the street began to be systematically developed: la Rambla became a kind of tree-lined avenue.
		The next section of La Rambla is known as La Rambla dels Estudis, after the mid-15th century building of that name, the Estudi General or Universitat.

		Este caso, por tanto, constituye todo un ejemplo clarificador del modo de operar en la arquitectura local del momento, a veces fragmentario y siempre sujeto a procesos de ejecución lentos y raramente unitarios.
		Son "los salvajes", expresión que ya figura en las condiciones y que, por extensión, debió de prestar su nombre a estos nuevos modelos de imágenes heráldicas.
		Si antes referíamos la falta de un proyecto coherente y unitario para la fachada, con más motivo podemos pensar en la ausencia de éste para el patio, apenas dos galerías erigidas en tiempos diferentes y proyectadas -en uno de sus lados- con un diseño ajeno por completo a la arquitectura local de este periodo.
