Summary

El Tajín reveals a sophisticated visual language through its architecture and sculpture that encapsulates the cultural and cosmological thought of its ancient inhabitants. This study identifies recurring formal elements, compositional structures, morphological patterns, and aesthetic canons in representative buildings, providing new insights into their iconographic and iconological significance. The research employs structuralist and formalist analysis, supported by linear drawings to clarify visual components, allowing for a detailed examination of both individual units and overall building morphology. By contextualizing El Tajín within Mesoamerica's historical, social, and religious landscape, the study underscores the enduring relevance of its visual language today, contributing to its preservation and restoration efforts.
