Metodología de diseño urbano mutable. (MEDUM). Apuntando a revitalizar barrios centrales en deterioro. Caso Localidad de los Mártires

Abstract

There are some neighborhoods into the city that are in decay and gradual neglect. Government entities haven´t been able to provide a real and non-perishable solution to these sectors, this means that there are spaces that are in decline and wasted. Specialists in the field of design and construction sometimes do not know how to proceed in these places, this has the consequence that some of their interventions promote that the problems of the context grow or mutate negatively in other different ones. Limiting the project for now to focus on deteriorating central neighborhoods, what this strategy seeks is to define whether, through the creation of an urban design methodology, based on the concept of mutation into a biological and more specifically genetic simile, the spaces mentioned can be revitalized and recovered. It has been proposed that this approach is sufficiently specific, appropriate and versatile. When mutability is named in the field of genetics, it refers to the phenomenon of transformation to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) given by natural or external factors that materialize physically in a biological body. Bringing this line of thought to the field of urbanism through a series of analogies between the physical and intangible structure of a city, with all its components and phenomena, and affirming that they are the components of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of the city, it was proposed to mutate its elements in a particular way, generating different possibilities for urban revitalization.
