I progetti dell’ingegnere Bruno Caballero a L’Avana, tra tradizione e un nuovo sistema di esercizio della professione
Il presente articolo studia la figura e il lavoro svolto a L’Avana dall’ingegnere militare spagnolo Bruno Caballero tra il 1717 e il 1740, partendo dal corpus di piani e progetti delle mura e delle fortificazioni della città che lui stesso disegnò. Il suo ruolo fu quello di esponente di un gruppo d'ingegneri che dovettero lavorare tra due realtà molto diverse tra loro, adattando un metodo basato sulla sperimentazione e sul rinnovamento tecnico alle esigenze di un nuovo modo di concepire la teoria e la pratica dell’ingegneria, nato a partire dal 1711 con la creazione del Real Cuerpo de Ingenieros. Nell’articolo si presta particolare attenzione all’influenza che esercitò il nuovo sistema professionale sull’importanza conferita ai progetti, e in particolare ai disegni, e sulla realizzazione delle opere di fortificazione e di difesa.
Parole chiave: Bruno Caballero, L'Avana, progetti, disegno, ingegnere militare. |
