Calle 26: huellas de una vida urbana fragmentada. Estrategias para su interpretación en Bogotá. Área de estudio: calle 26 entre la carrera séptima y la carrera treinta

Abstract

The research is based on the study of those marks that have appeared along calle 26 between carrera séptima and carrera treinta as a result of the different dynamics of transformation that the city of Bogotá has experienced over the last century. Considering that this avenue has been the focus of numerous actions executed in the city, such as the construction of El Dorado Avenue and the installation of the TransMilenio system's trunk lines. All these actions of huge scale caused the urban scheme was gradually fracturing, leaving a series of urban fragments in its surrounding spaces such as the Rebeca square, the Graffiti Park, the Gaitán square, the space around the bridge at the Centro Memoria station and La Florida square. Each of these sites are understood as transparent urban spaces, a phenomenon described by Moya (2011) in The phenomenological experience of the visual landscape, that are understood as those sites with no visual referential models that allows a person to recognise and appropriate a space. With this in mind, it is proposed the construction of a categories of analysis for their interpretation and possible intervention.
