Raising alive landscapes: A way to learn and rethink the city

Abstract:

The live landscapes proposed from the inter-cultural view point imply a way of rethinking revitalizing the principles of the Andean thought to understand and learn the complex reality of a city such as Quito in which live traces of their ancestral cultures. The idea is to try to recuperate the esthetic emotion, in this case the barrio of San Isidro of El Inca, to generate a continued lively training of the places, re-evaluate the rites, myths and celebrations with the end of raising healthy landscapes. This implies an explicit recognition of the complex multi-dimensionality: socio-political, economic, cultural and spacial of the neighborhood, a city in relation to its territory. It supposes to question the city making shape with the finality of building platforms that provoque dialogues and political discussion.
