CALLE REAL: PANORAMA FÍSICO. Reflexiones y valoración de las relaciones entre paisaje urbano y prácticas sociales cotidianas en la carrera séptima de Bogotá. Caso: tramo de la calle 1ra a la calle 27 sur.

Abstract

Social practices in the urban space are faithful witnesses of the culture, memory, and identity of the people, in short, they are part of the construction and interpretation of urban life. In this sense, the street has been, since ancient times, the stage par excellence for the interaction of citizens, and the image, history, and landscape of cities have been consolidated around it.

In this respect, Bogotá's Carrera Septima has been the scene of different memorable events of the nation and the constant transformation of the city and its activities. However, over time the different urban interventions in the corridor have coincided with the transformation of the landscape and the usual social practices, which has generated controversy between the old and the existing, generating a lack of knowledge of the landscape and socio-cultural relationship of such an important corridor.

Based on the above, Carrera Septime is divided into polygons that have been studied by city bodies such as the Urban Development Institute (IDU) and the Bogotá Special Management and Protection Plan (PEMP) homogeneous and regulatory spaces that respond to the projects they are in charge of. However, other sections are forgotten and deserve to be recognized.

This project proposes the study of the corridor for the specific orientation of future interventions with a specific focus on landscape units, social practices, and memory. In the section that goes from the Fucha River to the Veinte de Julio Church.
