Condicionantes bioclimáticos en la arquitectura colonial de Colombia: la casa-patio en Cartagena de Indias y Bogotá
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, 2017-12-29) López Pérez, Cecilia; Sierra Huerta, David Felipe
The urban housing of colonial times, shows a symbiosis of the Spanish typological model with vernacular materials. They were one-storey dwellings built with earthy materials and an inner courtyard around which the living room, the bedroom area and a multiple space serving as a food, seed, firewood and working tools deposit were available. However, popular architecture is conceived in response to the conditions of its environment. The model of Spanish colonial architecture was conceived, implanting architectural answers with criteria of comfort derived from the European climatological conditions. The present article presents the results of the analysis of the Spanish typologies, implemented in two Colombian cities: Cartagena and Bogotá; With a bioclimatic analysis that allows to determine similarities and differences between the two cities and aspects that can be replicated in the current architecture.
Aportes desde la teoría del actor red para implementar la aproximación del Paisaje Histórico Urbano
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, 2017-12-29) De Urbina, Amparo
This article presents contributions from the actor-network theory to the recommendation of the Historic Urban Landscape; all this from the understanding of historical centers as urban heritage, where the urban phenomenon transcends the physical dimension of the city. This theoretical review considers the landscape as central and articulating concept; this implies recognizing and strengthening the social component understood from the construction of relationships. The actor-network theory is useful because it shows the relational patterns between actors - human and non-human - in order to make them visible.
La Crianza de los Paisajes Vivos como detonante de sus transformaciones. El caso de Cotogchoa
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, 2017-12-29) Montaño Huerta, María Dolores; Armijos Moya, Ekaterina
The lecture will define intercultural landscapes, living landscapes and the way they "breed" contributing to physical, social and attitudinal changes in the rural parish of Cotogchoa. The tasks, searches and conceptualizations are built with actions, research, academic and teaching proposals from the Living Landscapes Laboratory of FADA-PUCE; through processes of participatory design between the academy and the community since 2014.
Cotogchoa is a vulnerable rural parish due to the uncontrolled growth of the urban mark of Quito, which has moved an industrial strip to the edges of the latter. This circumstance and the regulations about the size of the lot prioritize the urban situation on the rural characteristics of the area, favoring the densification and urbanization of agricultural land. The proposal is development to contribute to the characterization, valuation and recovery of local identities by reinforcing relationships and links between "living landscapes" rescuing traditions and celebrations, as well as alternative territorial planning in an Andean region with multiple conditions: physical, cultural, ethnic and diverse thoughts.
The laboratory through workshops of identity, participative design, consultancies, experiences and celebrations, has investigated the cultural dimension of the parish. This knowledge has empowered its inhabitants on attitudes and awareness in the preservation of their original rural vocation by establishing a space for negotiation in the face of urban overflow. It has evidenced and potentiated affects, relationships and links between living landscapes, exposing an evaluation system based on records that shows the fragility of the territory in front of the transformations of the urbanization process. Critical-perceptual maps and cartographies, community-driven, academic-community projects, creative-educational workshops, exhibitions and events that consolidate the upbringing of living landscapes are highlighted as instruments of mediation and criticism.
These spaces of action, dialogues and evaluation have generated in the community attitudes against the urban dynamics of "badly created landscapes" that deteriorate the habitat in rural areas. The actions and approaches between academy-community have awakened the desire to promote and strengthen local affective bonds, to preserve their cultural dimension, to foster spaces of exchange and communication and to investigate in the system of relations of landscapes that safeguard protected areas, conservation and imminent intervention.
Centro Cívico de Guatemala, Patrimonio Moderno en peligro
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, 2017-12-29) Fuentes Padilla, Sonia
The Ministry of Culture and Sports in Guatemala is conscious that modern heritage is already susceptible of being recognized, protected and divulged, requested DoCoMoMo Guatemala, to lead the technical committee to do the proposal to declare the Civic Center as National Heritage (2014). Therefore a workshop was organized to achieve the recognition of the Civic Center´s uniqe values and therefore the official recognition as Heritage of our Nation. Unfortunately, two years ago it was revealed that the government threatened against all the initiatives explained above to elevate this Civic Center to become candidate in the UNESCO´s Indicative List by proposing an invasive proposal of about 6 massive buildings in the site where the actual Central Train Station located nearby Civic Center and that is already declared as National Heritage. The management of the Architectural Heritage and its validation should be done by participatory and inclusive actions. A group of professionals and patrimonial managers propose a counterproposal focused on the valorisation and revitalization of the heritage but not to its destruction.
