Guía metodológica para la documentación de contextos especiales previo a su intervención

Abstract

The challenge facing the architecture student and, therefore, the professional subsequent in the area when he has to perform interventions in contexts of special sensitivity, whether natural or built, is complex. The variables that contribute to the knowledge and understanding of the place, are of diverse expertise. This teaching document, based on the experience carried out in the project workshops of the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the Universidad de Cuenca, in the fourth year, raises the need to establish an orderly methodological scheme for the documentation and further development of the architectural project in strong and/or special contexts. It shows the process of documentation, the assessment of the conditions of the site and the de- termination of design inputs that will result in the re- solution of the architectural proposal.
