Actividad y escenografía como herramientas de reinterpretación de espacios domésticos espontáneos, en Usme

Abstract

The present research covered the relationship between activity and scenography as a tool to reinterpret the housing of spontaneous developments in the San Germán neighborhood, in Usme, Bogotá; the starting argument was the qualitative precariousness of domestic spaces which limit the development of activities by not planning the evolution of their scenography over time, being a risk for this population as the most affected during the COVID-19 pandemic according to WHO (2020). Therefore, in order to recognize the activities and spatial configurations of housing, a case study was conducted in which the main activities and types of scenographies were contrasted, this analysis allowed to propose a prefabricated housing system, flexible and adaptable to the needs of families, activities and location, as part of a research process that led to the conclusion that, in low-income sectors, ideal conventional typologies cannot be established, Rather, a systemic vision is required, in which a programmatic system and different variations of multifunctional scenographies are established, where the user can easily interact and alter the space according to the different housing, productive and collective activities, maintaining the characteristic social fabric in self-managed territories, which have been a risk in the occupation of urban peripheries and protected areas.
