espanolEl analisis de la documentacion grafica presentada por los arquitectos que estuvieron al frente de las obras de nueva planta o rehabilitacion del patrimonio arquitectonico de la universidad granadina es inseparable, entreotros, de la formacion academica que aquellos recibieron, ademas de los avances tecnico-cientificos acontecidos en el campo de la arquitectura en el periodo de tiempo estudiado. Iniciando el recorrido con los sencillos planos trazados a plumilla por los padres o hermanos jesuitas que proyectaron el Colegio de San Pablo, convertido en sede universitaria en 1767, atravesaremos los artisticos dibujos del periodo ilustrado hasta llegar a las insipidas copias monocromaticas de los anos siguientes a la Guerra Civil y detectar los dos puntos de inflexion que afectaron de manera decisiva y con desigual resultado a las tecnicas graficas utilizadas en estos proyectos: la Instruccion liberal de 1860 y la aparicion de las copiadoras heliograficas en los albores del siglo xx. EnglishThe analysis of the graphic documentation presented by the architects who were in charge of the works of new plant or rehabilitation of the architectural heritage of the University of Granada is inseparable, among others, from the academic training that they received, in addition to the technical-scientific advances that happened in the field of architecture in the period of time studied. Starting the route with the simple plans drawn in black ink by the Jesuit fathers or brothers who designed the College of Saint Paul, converted into seat of the university in 1767, we will go through the artistic drawings of the Enlightenment until we reach the insipid monochromatic copies of the following years to the Civil War and detect the two points of inflection that affected, decisively and with unequal result, the graphic techniques used in these projects: the Liberal Instruction of 1860 and the appearance of the heliographic copiers in the dawn of the 20th century.
