rock-cut architecture Explanation: This is a form of architecture related to cave dwellings, so it's a possibility. There are references to this kind of architecture in Gran Canaria. Rock-cut architecture is the creation of structures, buildings, and sculptures, by excavating solid rock where it naturally occurs. Rock-cut architecture is designed and made by man from the start to finish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock-cut_architecture The sanctuary and astronomical marker at Risco Caído represents a unique architectural masterpiece, both in terms of its conception and its functionality, its design and the structural and symbolic elements contained therein. This site can and should be seen as a unique and extraordinary phenomenon in the evolution of the rock-cut architecture of the early inhabitants of the island. http://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/6081/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 hrs (2016-12-17 10:30:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I have asked a native of Gran Canaria for an opinion on the term "arquitectura del vaciado" and his explanation is "coger una montaña o una roca y hacer un hueco, un vacio". This fits in with the idea of rock-hewn structures. I hope this is of help. |
