Theory: Programs and Architectural Promenade

Uxmal was planned and built to hold the daily routines of the inhabitants. The planning of programs then became very important as it should be functional and efficient. These programs, such as the temples, palaces, and cemeteries, are evidence for the complex understanding that the Mayans had toward city planning and the concern of circulations of the site. Moreover, as shown in this particular diagram, the arrangement and the planning of these programs and circulations also sustain and support the architectural promenade of Uxmal.
