Paisajes educativos: Los entornos socioespaciales educativos como recursos para la arquitectura y la planificación urbana

Abstract

The article aims to reinterpret urban development through architecture and urban design strategies that deal with infrastructural systems to recover public space in Latin American cities. It presents an analytical framework encompassing four projects: one in São Paulo (Brazil) and three in Medellín (Colombia). Both municipalities had remarkable experiences in architecture and urbanism (A&U), reflecting advances in social, political, and economic conditions. It highlights the instruments and qualities of space intrinsically activated by A&U's strategies, considering their potential to engender significant socio-spatial transformations. The text focuses on the urban infrastructure spatial patterns as the most defining factor of the analysed urban landscapes.
