Luvina, Juan Rulfo: matter of project

Abstract

The project workshop exercise that is presented -corresponding to the fifth semester- proposes a collective immersion into a cultural imaginary from which to nurture the material reflection of the project. The thesis implicit in this approach proposes how in the written word it would be possible to find matters of interest not only to understand architecture and territory, but also to think about it and project in it, presenting a project exercise inserted in the tale "Luvina" by Juan Rulfo. An attempt would be made to scrutinize literature as a record of memory, as a hieritage value, as a project matter, developing critical-poetic thinking from a transdisciplinary approach. From the cultural imaginaries of Rulfo's narration, the students reconstructed the architecture and landscape of "Luvina" and projected - in a situated way- works of architecture, buildable and habitable, with the emphasis on the cultural conception of the tectonic aspects of the project.
