Reflexiones sobre un PFC en Lima. Arquitectura y Urbanismo como convivencia y cooperación

Abstract

This article tackles a real and plural story that is communal, complex and polyphonic: the story of a development process of a cooperative project for the design and collaborative construction of the San Martin del Once communal dinning hall, in Barrio Cultural La Balanza, Distrito de Comas, Lima, Peru. This project is conceived as an agent of change of the urban and social development of the area. In relation to architecture in its project stage, the objective of this work focuses on progress instead of results. The former, due to its variety and wide scope, is understood as the real driving force for the regeneration produced in the physical and human environment. At the same time, it works as a cause of reflection on the actual architect and resident relationship in the absence of the developer. This last point is relevant for both the interdisciplinary research and the knowledge transmission that is the basis of this experience.
