En esta obra Andrés Fernández indaga gracias a la arquitectura del San José de antaño en su historia social. Persigue hacer humana esa historia local, historia que por tal, está tan cerca del arte de narrar: se trata de volver a contar, lo que cuentan los muros de la ciudad. "Los muros cuentan. Crónicas de arquitectura histórica josefina" desmenuza la "biografía” de 19 edificios capitalinos, algunos de ellos muy conocidos, mientras otros solo existen hoy en fotografías.

For store planners and designers, visual merchandisers, owner/operators of retail stores, graphic designers, office & restaurant managers.
