Editorial

“Territorial Assemblages” is the name of the current issue 45 of DU&P journal. Assemblages is a term that became popular with the work of Deleuze and Guattari, called A Thousand Plateaus, 1980. The authors explore the fit and non-fit of ideas, objectives, visions, objects, elements, human and non-human; and that are reflected in numerous phenomena and events at a global level. The concept is attractive, since it is broad, offering an opportunity to explain effects and causes, and to reinterpret a global environment where the advancement of pro-business and neoliberal forms of governing is perceived. In this way, it is possible to reinterpret current concepts and theories developed in various disciplines and currents of thought. One of the themes that the philosopher Deleuze most emphasizes is aspects that are paradoxical both in development models and in the conceptual and theoretical interpretation of our environments. A more concrete way to establish a question from this point of view is to relate the persistent modern development models to the expression of diversity, complexity and dynamism that characterizes our environment and its inhabitants.

The various expressions of crises and social and cultural conflicts that have occurred and are still present in the world reflect current ways of governing. These are characterized by the ease with which they choose to appease, repress, consult, and practice multiple forms of violence to resolve what is categorized as complexity and diversity. Not far from this interpretation, among many others that have been made by both philosophers, we currently see in the investigative and intellectual development that explore the various ways that territories, architectures, history, landscape and cities are assembled. This issue presents research that explores the various ways of assembling our environments.

URBAN AND TERRITORY STUDIES

In this section we address different views and issues around the territory and landscape from the field of Urban Studies, with emphasis on the cultural and societal dimensions of spatial and symbolic production.

With the title “François de Nomé, Canaletto and Piranesi: the imaginary landscape of ruins,” Cesare Battelli presents the first imaginaries of architectural ruins, where the researched artist creates a lexicon or language by which the past and present are assembled, architecture and nature, vestiges of ways of living and governing the territory. This research expands, as a conceptual bridge, from a historical point of view, current themes about cities and their works. The author interprets these works as territorial dynamics, which represent questions about what happens when the built environment ages and remains, between the current models of regeneration and recovery, in a gray area of ​​vestige, heritage or ruins.

CITY AND POLITICS

The city expresses a set of phenomena of diverse nature, both social and political, where the ideological dimension manages to crystallize in dynamics of a normative, instrumental, material and spatial order. Both public policies and citizen action appear in this area together with critical theory, aesthetics or political philosophy.

Cities are key to the full development of their inhabitants, their communities, culture, economy and society in general. That is why it is relevant to investigate the interventions and ways of governing the pieces of architecture that make up the relationship between its inhabitants and the city. This research, developed by Juan de Andrés Martínez on the architectural piece Casa Urquijo, provides us with information about reordering, control and production of human relationships. The house represents an assembly of a piece of the city of Madrid. Explores the power of the dominant social classes in the city in the period. This ability to imagine and give shape to key places in the city, the Gran Vía, shows the assembly of personalities and family and professional relationships that shape the work and its environment. How it materializes and where these decisions are made are contemporary ways to approach works of architecture, since they reflect the social and cultural condition of the city, accounting for an anatomy located in the capitalist logic.

URBAN AND ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTS

We conceive of the city as an order in constant transformation and dispute. Its design would come to embody the various conceptions, representations and aspirations of making the city and architecture. Authors debate project and design theories in this thoughtful effort for different scales of intervention.

Considering recent global history, the manuscript “Numerical harmonies in present architectural education and its theoretical-practical approach. Regarding the Villard de Honnecourt Reticula”, presents the challenge of learning during the pandemic. As part of the impacts of the COVID-19 virus globally, Elian Moreno shares the experience associated with the learning changes that were made in in the discipline of architecture at the Universidad Autónoma of Ciudad Juárez (Mexico). His research contributes to a new literature that, in turn, reopens debates related to the relationship between face-to-face and virtual means by which learning is achieved. Given the fragility of living, evident in the face of the drastic changes to lifestyles related to confinement, Elian Moreno shares the innovations that had to be made to continue with an essential dimension in development, such as learning.

LANDSCAPE STUDIES AND SUSTAINABILITY

The global process of urbanization is stressing the natural and cultural landscapes in magnitudes that question sustainability. The theoretical-practical elaboration of landscape, territory and sustainability are necessary to decompress this tension. DU&P disseminates studies on design, planning, appraisal and theoretical reflection on landscape (composition, structure, organization) in its various contexts (urban, rural, conservation) and dimensions (natural, economic, social and cultural).

Contributing to research that shows the various contradictions of development, author Daniela Soto shares a critical look at the current assembly in urban production, and its effects on natural environments. There are few urban and architectural models that are imposed on urban and non-urban environments. The crises or conflicts that result from these reflect a reductionist understanding of the diversity and dynamics of a place. That is why the author offers a look at dwelling from the concepts of homeostasis and the cycles of the city. Her proposal addresses fundamental issues in urban development and planning, such as adaptation and informed planning, strategies that would reduce conflicts associated with the destruction of the natural environment due to large-scale urban projects and to ecosystem preservation.


Additionally, this issue includes CEAUP NEWS and PUBLICATION REVIEW sections.
