Paisajes en movimiento: metodología para la identificación de paisajes culturales en las plazas de mercado de Bogotá

Abstract

The challenge of this research is to understand the different cultural landscapes present in the market places of Bogota, across the history of the first marketplace covered of Bogota and of the country: The marketplace of the Concepcion. The reconstruction of this cultural landscape has a physical context: Bogota, and a temporary context: the transition between 19th century and 20th century (1.864-1.953). This proposal is sustained in the following hypothesis: The patrimonial values contained in the cultural landscape of the marketplaces, do not depend on the existence of the architecture that shelters them, but of the permanency of the rites, customs, traditions that escape to the spatial forms, for what many of these values prevail up to today as manifests of a culture in the of Bogotá marketplaces. It is for it, that the identification of the cultural landscapes demonstrated in the marketplace, will allow to hold the principal types of cultural current landscapes and his patrimonial values, as testimonies of the permanent meeting between the cultures of the country and the city.
