Las cenefas en los edificios de las Islas Canarias 1880-1935. El estilo de los arquitectos en las fachadas

The area of the frieze lends itself perfectly to being decorated, as is known, since the oldest times, but these stripes can also occupy other areas of the façade as borders. The data collection of the buildings that incorporate this decoration and its treatment has materialized in a thesis that has served as the basis for this article, but in this case we are going to concentrate on the style of the architects.
