Estudio de los proyectos de espacio público del Arq. Lorenzo Castro. Planteamiento de un anteproyecto de espacio público recreativo en los terrenos de la Senplades

Abstract

This work has been originated from the following question: What is the deep dimension about public space in a city like Cuenca?

We propose that the architectureis intended to be interpreted as a way of think from the place, which in our case is Cuenca , however the phenomenon of public space allows admitting other deep points of view that will generate an own reflection. Also, in this sense we can understand this work as the develop of a look that analyzes some paradigmatic moments of a city like Bogota and some of its specific actors, who have tried to build a culture of public space; this review aims to grab some dimensions of thespace, but also of thought and thus undertake the arduous task of correcting in some way,the forgetfulness and indifference that the logic of development in some areas of the city have set as conditions for living at it. We have chosen the ideas and work of the architect Lorenzo Castro as the main reference for this work, and the overall objective is to demonstrate that through the development of a dialogue with him, new ways of approaching public space projects can be opened for us and for the readers of this paper. The product of this review is the generationof a piece of public space that from its location has a look of the place and time of their city.
