| Description: | The Cathedral-Mosque of Córdoba represented, in its day, a remarkable form of intervention in a pre-existing building, being an important place of worship for islamic culture, which the conquering christian civilization wished to occupy. Intervention of this type usually consisted of a new construction which would guarantee ideological domination over the previous culture and wipe out all traces of it. However, in this case the moslem building underwent a metamorphosis to adapt it to the new requirements of the christian faith, but without losing its individual character. The horizontal, abstract space of the mosque was transformed by the insertion of two spaces which were clearly western and vertical: two cathedrals, one gothic and the other renaissance.<br>These two cathedral spaces present welldefined typologies, the acoustic features of which have in some cases been studied and are generally known. However, in the Cathedral-Mosque of Córdoba, this behaviour differs from what would normally be expected of these typologies, with some special acoustic features being generated which are the object of the present study.<br>It is the boundaries delimiting the different areas - virtual and non-material- which are responsible for the improved acoustics in each of the spaces. These limits behave, rather than as boundaries between two spaces, as energizing elements which are fed by the tension provoked by the differences between them.<br><br>La Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba supuso, en su momento, una forma de intervención singular sobre un edificio preexistente, siendo un lugar de culto destacable para la cultura islámica, que la civilización cristiana conquistadora quería ocupar. Usualmente esa intervención consistía en una nueva construcción que garantizase el dominio ideológico sobre la cultura precedente, borrando sus huellas. Sin embargo, en este caso se produce una metamorfosis del edificio musulmán para adecuarlo a las nuevas exigencias de la religión cristiana, pero sin perder su propio carácter. El espacio horizontal y abstracto de la mezquita se transforma mediante la inserción de dos espacios claramente occidentales y verticales: dos catedrales, una gótica y otra renacentista.<br>Esos dos espacios catedralicios presentan tipologías bien definidas, cuyas características acústicas en algunos casos han sido estudiadas y son conocidas de modo general. Sin embargo, en la Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba, este comportamiento difiere del que correspondería a esas tipologías, generándose unas conductas acústicas singulares que son objeto de estudio en este trabajo.<br>Los límites que conforman los diferentes recintos —virtuales y no materiales— son los responsables de la mejora en el comportamiento acústico de cada uno de los espacios. Estos límites, más que fronteras entre dos espacios, se comportan como elementos energéticos que se nutren de la tensión provocada por las diferencias entre ellos. |
