Intersections

This book presents a critical vision of the role of architecture and design in constantly changing cities, territories and societies from a Latin American perspective. Topics include, pandemic and post-pandemic; public culture and aesthetics; right to housing, city and services, gender approach and ethics of care; heritage and cultures, critical methodology; sustainable landscapes; perceptions and emotions; processes and technologies; territories and intermediate cities.

The IV Intersections Congress was organized by high-level universities in Latin American: faculties of architecture, design and urban studies that came together during an historical moment of great changes. The congress was an invitation to weave conversations that address the tensions emerging in local, regional and global debates, with the goal of understanding how architecture, design, city and territory are a relevant intersection for these tensions. This translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.
