La escisión entre la ciudad real y la ciudad postulada: estrategias alternativas para la reformulación

Abstract

All architectural work involves an idea of town. In downtown Santa Fe there’s a contradiction in this respect, because the modes of investment promote the consolidation of a highly heterogeneous urban fabric as the predominant architectural typologies for high density building postulate a landscape characterized by a compact urban fabric of uniform heights and continuous façade, very hard to find in the “real” city. This is a split not only encouraged by the logic of the housing market, but also by the municipal regulations governing these processes. In order to reduce this "gap", the Project "Real City and Postulated City" (FADU-UNL) is based on the potential of GIS as an analytical-performative tool, to redefine traditional parameters that underpin the current regulations, considering the state of affairs as the specific potential transformation into a sustainable framework.
