Es así como las expresiones estéticas son el resultado de una "fusión" entre el folclore y la academia. Sin embargo, a lo que arquitectura se refiere, podemos decir que tanto sus sistemas constructivos como los materiales de construcción; desde la llegada de los Europeos, fueron cambiando y adecuándose a las características geográficas y topográficas del lugar, ya que ninguno de los viejos tratados de Serlio o Palladio traídos por los conquistadores, fueron reproducidos con exactitud debido a la intensa actividad sísmica que predomina en el país.
Por ello el concepto del estilo barroco, ultra barroco adquirirían una adaptación muy particular y con una originalidad que solamente pudo lograrse en nuestro país, un claro ejemplo es lo que encontramos en el convento e iglesia de la Merced en la ciudad de Antigua Guatemala.

Adentrándonos un poco más en nuestra historia y específicamente al avance conceptual del quehacer arquitectónico, podemos mencionar que con la llegada de la independencia muchos de los patrones predominantes en sus inmuebles obedecieron a una copia o interpretación extranjera, por lo que encontramos edificios con simplificación de ornamentación y una disposición del espacio arquitectónico al entorno natural donde se emplaza.
Sin embargo, vuelve a reaparecer en la nueva ciudad de Guatemala aquel viejo romanticismo por la antigua ciudad colonial ─con sus calles empedradas, los arcos de medio punto, etc.─ lo que da como resultado un Neo Colonial; siendo su edificio más representativo el Palacio de Correos ─ubicado en la 12 calle y 7a. avenida de la zona 1─ que a su vez muestra una interpretación del arco del convento de Sta. Catalina.

Posteriormente, con los cambios de gobierno y las nuevas políticas imperantes, el avance arquitectónico merma, llegando a ser casi exclusivamente para los terratenientes y entidades guberbamentales las siguientes contrucciones en nuestro país, por ello los edificios serían ─en su mayoría─estatales, tales como el edifico de Sanidad Pública, Registro de la Propiedad, etc.
A todo ello se suma la llegada de la 2da. Guerra Mundial, lo cual repercutirá en nuestro país y demás países Hispanoamericanos.
Superada toda "recesión" y los viejos paradigmas imperantes, la ciudad de Guatemala en la época comprendida entre los años 1952-1968, la producción arquitectónica comienza nuevamente a formular nuevas alternativas espaciales para la sociedad, pero lo más importante la forma de conceptualizar toma una nueva variante.
Es así como el nuevo legado arquitectónico expuesto por varios maestros arquitectos tales como Arq. Roberto Aycinena, Arq. Jorge Montes Córdova, Arq. Raúl Minondo, entre otros, dejarán una huella dentro de la sociedad guatemalteca con la construcción del Centro Cívico y la Ciudad Universitaria, campus central, que hoy día siguen siendo parte de nuestra representatividad.

─ English Version ─
Guatemala with an immense legacy urban / architectural through their roots Maya, has had its own history and progress ideological / conceptual across all cultural and artistic events.
This is how the aesthetic expressions are the result of a "merger" between folklore and the academy. But what architecture is concerned, we can say that their systems constructive as building materials, since the arrival of Europeans, were changing and adapting to the geographic and topographic features of the site, since none of the old treaties of Serlio or Palladio brought by the conquistadors were reproduced accurately because of the intense seismic activity that prevails in the country.
That is why the concept of the Baroque, Baroque ultra acquire an adaptation with a very particular and originality that could only be achieved in our country, a good example is what we found in the convent and church of La Merced in the city of Antigua Guatemala.

Thus, the new architectural legacy described by several teachers architects such as Arch. Roberto Aycinena Arch. Jorge Montes Cordova, Arch. Raul Minondo, among others, a lasting cease within Guatemalan society with the construction of the Civic Center and the University City, central campus, which today are still part of our representation.

Within a little more in our history, and specifically to advance conceptual architectural work, we can mention that with the advent of independence in predominan pattern many of its buildings were due to a copy or foreign interpretation, we found buildings with simplification of ornamentation and a provision of architectural space to the natural environment where they replaced.
However, once again reappear in the new Guatemala City that old romantic by the former colonial city ─ with its cobbled streets, semicircular arches, and so on. ─ which results in a Neo Colonial; building being the most representative Central Post ─ located in the 12 street and 7a. Avenue of zone 1 ─ which in turn shows an interpretation of the convent of Sta. Catalina arch.
(see photos No.2,3)
Subsequently, with changes in government and the new political situation, progress architectural erosion, becoming almost exclusively for landowners and entities guberbamentales the following contrucciones in our country, why the buildings were ─mostly ─ state, such as the building of Public Health, Property Registry, and so on.
All of this is compounded by the arrival of the 2nd. World War, which will have an impact on our country and other countries Hispanoamericans.
Having overcome any "recession" and the old paradigms prevailing, Guatemala City in the time between the years 1952-1968, the architectural production begins again to make space for new alternatives for the company, but more importantly, how to take a conceptualize new variant.
