Territorios simultáneos : formas de territorialización de la Sabana de Bogotá

"Simultaneous Territories" is an analysis of the territorial morphogenesis of the Bogotan Savannah. lt is an interpretive reading of the process of configuration of the urban morphology of the Bogotan Savannah, of her origin and evolution throughout history. The Bogotan Savannah is a high plateau at an altitude of 2600 meter above sea level, embedded in the center of the Colombian Andes. The Savannah counts with approximately 9,5 million inhabitants, of which about 80% live in Bogotá and the remaining part in the rest of the Savannah. The Bogotan Savannah faces a strong urbanizing dynamic that... Mehr ...

"Simultaneous Territories" is an analysis of the territorial morphogenesis of the Bogotan Savannah. lt is an interpretive reading of the process of configuration of the urban morphology of the Bogotan Savannah, of her origin and evolution throughout history. The Bogotan Savannah is a high plateau at an altitude of 2600 meter above sea level, embedded in the center of the Colombian Andes. The Savannah counts with approximately 9,5 million inhabitants, of which about 80% live in Bogotá and the remaining part in the rest of the Savannah. The Bogotan Savannah faces a strong urbanizing dynamic that threatens to consume her entirely; it is increasingly difficult to identify the boundaries between city and countryside, while the political and administrative borders fade against the rise of an urban reality that goes far beyond them. Today, Bogotá is the Savannah and the Savannah is Bogotá; Bogotá is witnessing the appearance of a new urban reality that in this research has been called the Savannah City. Throughout history, the Bogotan Savannah has been inhabited by different cultures, and each and every one of them has reorganized her according to the social and spatial circumstances and determinants of the moment. This research argues that the morphology of the contemporary territory is the result of the overlap of these previous forms of spatial reorganization, which have been called forms of territorialization. Each of these different forrns of territorialization existed ala certain moment in history, overlapping, mixing, combining and contaminating with previous and future forms, until it reached the territorial morphology that we know today. In other words: it is about understanding the contemporary territory not only as an assembly of constructed and unconstructed spaces, though rather as a mosaic of different times. The general objective of this research is to build an interpretive model of the process of configuration of the territorial form that the Savannah City exposes today. The construction of this model ...
