| Popis: | Màster universitari en Estudis Avançats en Arquitectura. MBARCH ETSAB UPC: The contemporary project Tension between city growth and the preservation of archaeological heritage is a pressing matter given current urban conditions in Lima. Urban planners have left the door open on how to intervene on these sites, as they haven’t defined an attitude towards this problem. Urban planner Kevin Lynch has catalogued the elements that define a city, prompting the following question: where would archeological ruins would be defined in a city? I have found that the difference whether it can be considered as a landmark or a void for the city is whether it serves a purpose or not. For ruins to not be considered as obstacles, as it is currently happening in Lima, they should at least try promote cultural diffusion. Common examples of this outdoor archaeological museums can be found in cities around the world. The next question would be on how to design a border, in terms of spatial integration between city and heritage and as a delimitation for the tangible limits. Borrowing from the modern conception of the promenade in architecture, this concept of spatial fluidity that prioritizes visual contact is very appealing to an outdoor museum and can easily integrate and blur the limits between the past and present. In the ancient landscape, Huacas would be connected through a ceremonial line or a route across the territory. My intention is to synthesize these architectural notions to propose a promenade that can connect the gap between current and past city realities. |
