Abstract

ABSTRACT

This document reveals a set of readings on the irrigation canal system, which manifest its contribution to the development of a productive peri-urban area and its transformations based on the loss of function of said system and the reduction of areas served by irrigation, with the objective of investigating new meanings and roles of said infrastructure and its landscape in the rural and urban territory of Villamercedino. In methodological terms, various scales of approach are used, constructing a graphic document that allows identifying its particular functional, spatial and landscape features, using the drawing as a fundamental instrument for reading and understanding the system in question and its parts. Understanding that the construction of this set of inputs will allow, subsequently, to identify opportunities to articulate the traces of water with the territory it crosses, through a set of urban-landscape preservation and valuation projects.
