The architecture of the early 20th century in the cities of Harbin (China) and Castelló (Spain)

This research focuses on the historical and architectural analysis of Harbin City, especially on the interpretation of this urban space through historical traces, taking Lao Ding Feng architecture as an example. Much of the history of the city focuses on the Russian and Japanese invasions, so such aspects as architectural styles and the construction of the railway are attributed to the occupation of these countries, more especially to the Russian occupation. The research presents a qualitative methodology and bibliographic review of the baroque-style buildings found in Harbin, which reveals that many buildings today have endured over time and become one of the historical monuments of the city.
