Estrategias de intervención en la franja periurbana basadas en los procesos y las estructuras del paisaje, la identidad y el carácter del lugar

Abstract

This article is framed in the contemporary discourse of landscape, which shifts from being considered as scenery to a dynamic system that works through processes during the twentieth century. It evolves from a pictorial to an instrumental, operational and strategic perspective. This dynamic condition offers it the ability to create itself and can be introduced into the basis of the design. This conceptual shift emphasizes the interactions between natural, cultural, economic and social processes. The transformation of these processes is an inspiration and a model for the new urban condition. It also discusses the emerging trend of projects that orient urban project towards the landscape. This article reviews intervention strategies that incorporate this approach and become instigators of a set of interrelated dynamics: social, economic, ecological and cultural ones. This specificity of the landscape articulates it with the urban, and allows us to understand how cities are formed, revitalised and evolves over time.
