Abstract

The academic experience “Arquitectos de Cabecera”, born in the School of Architecture at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya with one section later developed in collaboration with Medellin “Urban and Environmental Processes” [URBAM-EAFIT] Graduate school, has worked on different cases trying, it is possible to imagine the design of new city maps from a local point of view. As a complementary strategy, the local analysis, detailed case by case, provides an alternative view for professionals to recognize bit by bit the specific problems of the cities based on the problems of their citizens, which would let them create a new bottom-up cartography: from micro (housing) to macro (city). A round-trip process, where the “small part” is accepted as an adding unit of the city. The housing is a general and unknown element, a majority and constituent part of the cities.

Figuras 5, 6, 7 y 8 Identificación a distintas escalas de un problema y una posibilidad derivados del análisis de la escala local: lectura dual y complementaria de la ciudad; de la ausencia de canalización de las aguas residuales en la vivienda a la incorporación de las quebradas naturales como espacios públicos metropolitanos
La experiencia abrió posibilidades de plantear nuevas alternativas académicas y profesionales de aproximación a la ciudad desde una lectura ascendente, donde el análisis pormenorizado de la vivienda como unidad de agregación, en constante cambio y adaptación dentro de un tejido en proceso de consolidación, puede aportar nuevas ideas y enfoques al diagnóstico y propuesta macro de una planificación a mayor escala en un trabajo doble ascendente y descendente

Introduction

The academic experience “Arquitectos de Cabecera”, born in the School of Architecture at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya with one section later developed in collaboration with Medellin “Urban and Environmental Processes” [URBAM-EAFIT] Graduate school, has worked on different cases trying, it is possible to imagine the design of new city maps from a local point of view.As a complementary strategy,the local analysis,detailed case by case, provides an alternative view for professionals to recognize bit by bit the specific problems of the cities based on the problems of their citizens, which would let them create a new bottom-up cartography: from micro (housing) to macro (city). A modo de una estrategia complementaria, el análisis local, nos permite tener una visión alternativa, partiendo de los problemas de sus ciudadanos, cartografiándolos en un proceso ascendente, desde lo micro (la vivienda) hasta lo macro (la ciudad).
