The morphological study of architectural features, the building arrangement within urban spaces, and multiscalar variation are critical for understanding urbanism as a process. Building types and architectural typologies form the foundational blocks of urban morphology and are essential for identifying architectural patterning. We use a process-typological approach to present an architectural typology from the ancient Purépecha (Tarascan) city of Angamuco, located in the Lake Pátzcuaro Basin, Michoacán, Mexico. Using archaeological survey, lidar analysis, and excavation, we analyze building foundations from houses and public structures; storage facilities; monumental architecture such as pyramids, altars, and public buildings; and landscape features such as plazas, roads, terraces, and raised roadways locally known ashuatziri. Our typology enhances understanding of the dense urban environment of this important prehispanic city during and after the formation of the Purépecha Empire.

来自墨西哥米却肯州安加穆科的古代 Purépecha (Tarascan) 建筑类型学

建筑特征的形态学研究、城市空间内的建筑布置和多尺度变化对于将城市主义理解为一个过程至关重要。建筑类型和建筑类型构成了城市形态的基本块，对于识别建筑图案至关重要。我们使用过程类型学方法来展示位于墨西哥米却肯州帕茨夸罗湖盆地的古代 Purépecha (Tarascan) 城市 Angamuco 的建筑类型学。通过考古调查、激光雷达分析和挖掘，我们从房屋和公共结构中分析建筑地基；储存设施; 纪念性建筑，如金字塔、祭坛和公共建筑；和景观特征，例如广场、道路、梯田和当地被称为华兹里. 我们的类型学增强了对这个重要的前西班牙城市在普雷佩查帝国形成期间和之后的密集城市环境的理解。
