To whom it may concern,

My name is Natalia Matesanz Ventura, I am a PhD student in the Advanced Architectural Projects Doctoral Program of the Polytechnic University of Madrid. I am working on subversive architectural practices that generates innovation in urban space. I am contacting you because I would like to apply for a 5-month stay within the Department of architecture at the UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design to complete my studies on the hippie communes and queer collectives in the Bay Area. During my research process I´ve become interested in the technologies and practices they developed and visiting Berkeley would provide me with an insight it would be impossible to achieve otherwise.

I have been working on participative architectural practices since I graduated. In 2013, I received a grant from the Spanish government to complete a M.A. in Architectural Projects at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, ETSAM, specializing in relational architecture. My master thesis focused in the relation existing between affections, dissident behaviour and urban space.

My professional practice has been involved in the creation of informal and participative projects in Madrid such as the El Campo de Cebada project that has won several European awards. I have also enjoyed promoting different urban workshops and participative processes. I am a hard worker and do not easily give up. I really have a bond with dissident American movements, I have just published an article about Losaida community gardens in New York comparing them to Spanish ones.

My PhD project associates innovation with the capacity and even necessity of the society to build alternative spaces to inhabit. Creative techniques, codified and connected spaces are much more efficient as urban configurations than the orthodox and planned cities. The research links these forms of innovation with the events that took place in the end of the 60’s. Particularly, I have focused in the May ´68 revolts with its racial and gender fights and specially, the American counterculture.

The entrepreneurial spirit in the Californian hippie communes and collectives, along with the environmental movement and the LGBT fights is considered in the research as one of the most important cases of study.

UcBerkeley, the cradle of the environmental movement, represents the origin of the counterculture. In terms of construction, as observed in the hippie communes but also in political and social terms, as observed in the streets of El Castro. It would be impossible to properly complete my PhD without visiting the UC Environmental Design. I really want this opportunity to spend half a year in contact not only with all the first bibliographical resources that I need to accomplish the research, but also with the people in the university of California because it’s essential to enrich and finish my PhD.

That experience would not only enormously benefit my academic career, but also offer me a new perspective and knowledge about how to criticize and understand the research process and transdisciplinary projects that I am so interest in. I want to look at things from the Berkeley perspective, forcing myself to operate outside of my “comfort zone”. This is an opportunity to improve my methods within the College of Environmental Design, learn and collaborate closely with my host Professor Greg Castillo, a specialist in my field of research, aswell as the others professors and courses of the Architectural Department.

I believe it is time for me to broaden my academic experience and enrich the final state of my PhD research with this stay in Berkeley, one of the most important universities in the world. In order to move forward in my thesis and in my academic career, the UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design is definitely the place I need to go to.

PhD Full professor UPM-ETSAM Madrid, January 25th 2018

To whom it may concern, My name is Federico Soriano Peláez, professor at the Architecture School in Madrid and Head of the Architectural Project Department from 2012 to 2017. I met Natalia while she was undertaking her post-graduate studies at the ETSAM. She joined the Assistant Teaching Program of my department, where she collaborated for 4 years.

As the Director of the Architectural Projects Department, I personally selected Natalia in 2013 to work as the Coordinator of all the ETSAM Undergraduate Final Thesis of the school. This position involved collaboration across multiple areas, demonstrating her capacity to interact with students, professors and different disciplines within the academic and institutional environment. She did an outstanding job.

Natalia has all the qualities necessary to be an inspiring teacher and researcher. Her enthusiasm, work capacity, good judgment, empathy with the students and ability to blend in with the faculty have clearly helped to improve the performance of the students.

Currently, and while driving her own architectural practice, she is working on her PhD thesis, that I am supervising.

Her ongoing research is primarily involved in the investigation of emotional and dissident spatial configurations, and of the relationship between contemporary urban landscape, physical bodies and space. A relevant field of study within contemporary architecture framework and in line with her professional activity.

Natalia is interested in investigating the spatial configurations of the “out of the land” movement, its instrumental innovations and involvement with architects such as Bunkminster Füller, Steve Baer or Stewart Brand in the California of the 60´s and 70’s. These Do it yourself practices, informal and based in the affection and dissent parameters, are one of the contemporary topics that we must deal with in urban studies, in academic and professional terms, in the contemporary city.

Besides working since 2006 for architectural firms such as Carlos Arroyo or Angel Verdasco Architects (whose work I personally follow) she collaborates with different spanish relevant architecture collectives such as Basurama, Zuloark or Paisaje Transversal participating in numerous design projects, workshops and competitions. Particularly, she is a co-founder of “El Campo de Cebada” a social and multidisciplinary awarded and published project in Madrid.

In my opinion Natalia has the adequate intellectual capacity and emotional maturity to undertake whichever academic or professional endeavor she may wish to pursue. She is a source of creative ideas, always willing to take initiative and an outstanding professional. In my opinion, she would make a great asset for any prospective organization. It was a privilege to have her as a member of our team. Therefore I highly recommend Ms. Natalia Matesanz Ventura for the international grant of the UPM to go to UCBerkeley Environmental College Design.

Sincerely, Federico Soriano Peláez

affection and dissent

Californian queer spatialities and urban innovation * General framework This research project is an important part of the PhD dissertation entitled: AFFECT AND DISSENT IN THE RE-CONFIGURATION OF URBAN SPACE (ARCHITECTURAL ALTERNATIVES PARAMETERS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF HETHERODOX ENVIRONMENTS). The PhD aims to prove how some non-physical and socially-based parameters such as affection and dissent are keystones in the production of contemporary urban space. This is, how some alternative, ilegal, informal constructions and community practices leads to specific innovations and urban improvements that traditional planned city is not able to produce.

* Case of study 7

12

In order to understand these forms of innovation, the PhD presents some cases of study mostly linked to what the research understand as the cradle of the post-modern western society: the subversive movements of the 60’s and 70’s. May 68’ revolts, gender, LGBT and civil rights fights but above all, the influence of the American counterculture and the environmental movement.

The role of dissident organized communities and events such as the Kaliflower commune and newsletter, the Angels of light, the Cockettes or the Diggers collectifs in San Francisco or USCO collectif in New York are in the core of the dissertation.

* Context In 2000, the Harvard Project on the City, directed by Rem Koolhaas, presented Shopping, a research that highlighted the unstoppable transfer to the private of the public activity. Globalization, commercial strategies and the media were already contributing to “colonize” squares, streets, museums, churches and hospitals, benefiting consumerism1.

Today the disciplinary and control society2 is being surpassed by a performance society, as Byung-Chul Han3 puts. Architecture is no longer a tool for controlling bodies and reproduction.

Emotional capitalism goes beyond Guy Debord’s worst expectations4. Today, people are are controlled by social networks and personal data, supervising our ways of living and relating to the Polis. Public space seems to disappear5.

However, understanding the public as a relational and political space of the common6, we could state like Stefano Boeri did, that public space is not disappearing but just mutating its shape,

into a diffuse net of emergent “molecular” capitalism of small actors who are taking the lead7.

Certain citizen dynamics demonstrate that public space remains alive, although restructured and in a diffuse form. It no longer has to do with the traditional representation or monumentality, but with relational qualities framed by the affective spatial and critical turn of the 1990s8.

*New spatial categories in the city means new architectural tools 4

Following the epistemics changes of the second half of the twentieth century that links emotions to the configuration of social space, several new spatial categories have appeared. Some of them come from the transformation of the day to day living, in today’s society.

5

6

7

For example, a lot of self-managed or provided by the government spaces can be seen in the city of Madrid9, as well as orchard groups, productive spaces for citizen initiatives, spaces for self-expression and collaboration, co-workings, etc. These projects entail the active participation of the citizens in the construction of their own city.

Likewise, phenomena such as Facebook, Rbnb, Surf packers, or even Tinder are altering the traditional characteristics (perimeter, volume, measure) of urban and domestic spaces. Nowadays, a space can have no physical perimeter anymore, being spread in a lot of different locations at the same time like for example a space for an ephemeral love encounter.

8

Thus, new meanings and parameters are being created. They are different from the classic disciplines and especially linked to spatial parameters of affection and dissidence. These parameters need a better understanding, management and application as architectural design tools.

9

Affects and dissidence are leading to the transformation of what we understand today by urban space and even more, public space. Streets can be perceived from our rooms and a private bathroom can be public and seen from a pub thanks to new technologies.

Beatriz Preciado posed in 2014, that we are facing a pharmacopornographic society. Throught different techniques of subjectivation, tools and dispositifs our bodies are monitorised throught architecture. A “ new kind of capitalism that is hot, psycotropic, and punk” manifests, a post-democratic space where public and private categories are being alterated.10 “The apartment is now a peepshow and a gallery, where inhabiting means broadcasting a fiction of interiority that is publicly construdted as intimate and private”11 These new situations reveal the impossibility to apply traditional definitions of space. At this moment it can be considered that the architectural theories and practices need to establish 7 BOERI, Stefano; LANZANI, Arturo. Gli orizzonti della città diffusa.

new tools, concepts and methods to understand what urban space exactly is.

Social needs and changing desires of the inhabitants of the current city are generated around affective-dissident spaces, which diverge from those generated in the planned and unmovable city derived from modern zoning and Corbusier urban planning model.

This study will be directed towards those relational processes located mostly in urban centres.

Specifically, in those streets, plots or terrain-vague, in which property is confusing, being neither public nor private, but shared, assigned, or co-managed among different users.

*Precedents: A different city 5

6

10

Current urban dynamics need a more expert approach in alternative spatial design. A more adaptable, evolutionary city that facilitates urban growth or de-growth freely and indeterminacy. The ineffectiveness or inadequacy of urban parameters and methodologies established from the modern movement, within the framework of Spanish urban planning, oblige to rethink most of the urban processes of the 20th century, but also to retake into account some of the countercultural events and practices that originally opposed to this methods in order to outline a new concept of city.

May 68 revolts and the statements of the countercultural movement must be rethinked in architectural terms. This is, re.drawing, re-mapping them. These phenomena embraced the flexible and indeterminate, almost improvised practices. They allowed the incorporation of contingent thinking and collective learning in the production of space12, basing their design tools in people / bodies, communication and a critic attitude. The Kaliflower coomune in San Francisco or the Drop city in Colorado, for example are physical results of this affective-dissident based spaces, the from now on so called Affecdent spaces.

* AFFECDENT SPACEs This PHD research aims to define and understand Affectdence as an architectural concept resulting from the combination of two specific and usually independent conditions: affect and dissidence within a spatial framework. The concept, as if it were the result of an alloy, does not represent the addition of the characteristics of both affect and dissidence separately, but acquires new special properties which don’t exist in either affective or in dissident spaces.

11

12

Naturally, in the PhD we clarify first the meaning of affective space, which evolution and transformations depends on users interactions, and secondly what is meant by dissident space, a delocalised, unplanned and normally hided space. However, the specific parameters and potential of Affectdent spaces is what the PHD mostly develops.

Affectdent spaces are inter-connected in a net, physically or vitually de-localised, and generate their own technical and technological innovations and tools.

Californian queer spatialities and urban innovation

The origin of these affective-dissident spaces lies in empathic informal processes and relational social-based dynamics starting in outlaw, anti-hegemonic, and even private territories. The main point of the Affectdent spaces is their capacity to canalise innovation while transforming the concept of public space.

As already stated, some ordinary, organised informal spatial practices, based on affects and dissidence, are already generating a parallel architecture that creates a neo-public space, “where rules are set according to its users”13 and that contributes to practical innovation from a displaced, virtual or physical space through a connected interdependent communication network.

5

The community gardens net in the Low-East side of Manhattan, promoted by the counterculture and the environmental movement, but also the distribution and sale system of the top manta in Barcelona, the network of self-organized urban orchards in Madrid or the new cybernetic forms of relation, production and learning, are examples that are redrawing public space, by relocating it, reconnecting it, reframing it.

6

In some of these examples, architects such as Bunkminster Fuller, Gordon Matta-Clarck and others, got involved in the process, playing an essential role in the construction of these apaces.

7

Architecture is not disappearing but public space, at least as we know it traditionally, may be. ¿How architectural thinking and practice should adapt to those new circumstances? The research presents a series of examples that are permanently adapting to the fluxes of a liquid society14, and that can contribute to prove that Affectdent spaces are the ones that nowadays are regenerating the public and leading architectural innovation.

*WHY UC berkeley: the caliFORNIA CASE OF STUDY 9

10

11

The importance of counterculture and its spatial consecuences in the research, from the 70’s hippie communes and alternatives movements in San Francisco and New York, to the current punk, DIY and queer struggles, demands a more detailed study and deep bibliographic development from an architectural perspective in an American university such as UC Berkeley and specially the College of Environmental Design.

What can be learned about the Stonewall revolts of 1968 in New York, hence what can be learned about the LGTB community in El Castro, San Francisco? Ironically it seems that what has been repressed is now what architecture should learn from, instead of keeping ignoring it, as all the others queer, transgender or creep movements.

12

The research aims to define differents forms os application and alternative spatial tools that allows the architect to take part in the generation and design of these spaces. Finding out how this kind of space works and how to aplly it within an academic or professional framework represents an important goal to achieve.

once oppressed movements. The performances that took place in the streets of the city powered by collectifs such as The Diggers or the Hibiscus Drag Theater project.

-The “out of the land” movement, orginated in Califfornia in the 70’s and the hippie comunes.

These practices are considered a fundamental engine of the DIY philosophy and are seen as generators of innovation and critical thinking.

Those two cases of study are in the centre of this research project. The study of these two study cases is the reason why visiting the College of Environmental Design will be so enriching. The visit is the perfect opprotuniy to deep into the details, and to be able to map these spaces rigorously.

* State of development: The dissertation has a defined state of the question an theoretical framework, introducing and describing the concepts of affective space and dissident space. The study of 68’s revolts in Paris has led to deepening in the events and mobilizations of the 60s with those related to the American counterculture, the struggle for sexual equality, gender, against racism and violence of these years focused on the cities of New York and San Francisco.

Four work scenarios are being developed and mapped to illustrate the phenomenon of affected affective spaces. Two of them require to go to Berkeley to do a proper Fieldwork. The four cases of study produce cross-references and address transversal lines of reflection and thought, such as gender, queer, urban regeneration or the body.

* Relation with the work of the host greg castillo 9

Professor Gerg Castillo endorses this stay. He is actually one of the leading specialists in “hippie modernity”15. His works and research on the counterculture in the Bay Area and his papers on the hippie communes of the 70s are very noteworthy. His work inspirates part of the PhD. 10

11

He is also a Research Associate at the United States Studies Centre at the University of Sydney in Australia, specializes in the architectural history of Interwar and Postwar America and Europe. His course offerings include seminars on spaces of consumption, countercultural design in the ‘60s, transatlantic transfers of architectural practices, a global survey of modernist architecture, architectural history research methods, and a writing and publication workshop. Greg received his Doctoral degree in architectural history (2000) and a Master’s degree in architecture from the University of California at Berkeley (1995). He also holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

12

The interest of defining, drawing, mapping these affective-dissident processes is contributing to the operative evolution in the current project processes, favoring a construction more committed to the user, what is located, and the unforeseen in the public space.

* Relevance and purpose of the stay:

3

The research aims to define different forms of application and alternative spatial tools that allows the architect to take part in the generation and design of these spaces. Finding out how this kind of space works and how to apply it within an academic or professional framework represents an important goal to achieve.

4

The purpose of the stay is on the one hand, to deepen the study of the relationships between the hippie community of the movement originated in Berkeley with the ways of understanding the freedom of bodies and the incorporation of queer identities, and their consequences nowadays.

5

In order to do this, it is necessary to generate an exhaustive fieldwork, which will allows to identify and map the network of affective-dissident spaces in San Francisco.

6

The goal is to catalogue the different devices and spatial technologies generated from the population. Therefore, it is essential to go to the archives of the University of Berkeley and in particular, the Environmental College of Design where this movement mainly originates, as well as to the city of San Francisco to carry out an in situ monitoring of the affective-dissident space and environmental ideology and meet the LGBT community.

7

*METhodology 8

Drawing as a tool and research method:

9

The investigation of the case studies is confronted with a practical production: based on the drawing and construction of some maps, prototypes or models that allow to understand the alternative and invisible landscapes normally in the city.

10

Thus, it will be deepened on the one hand in the process of bibliographic documentation, on the other hand different frames or experimental means will be generated through the cartography of the different cases of study.

11

12

*Expected result and impact: The potential application of these models is of undeniable value for a large number of groups that live in the city. These models of capturing subjectivities, properly financed and oriented, would provide reliable and high quality diagnoses to start thinking about the city from the perception of its users, wich means data.

13

The final objective of this research project is to relate the innovative capacity and entrepreneurial drive of the California environment of Silicon Valley with this capacity for instrumental innovation and critical thinking or independent thinking of the first hippies communities of the counterculture.

Making this stay possible in Berkeley, the UPM, one of the leading agencies of national research, could help to weave common research links between the two Universities.

It is essential to make from a spatial approach the study of this counterculture and its reflection in European culture through the media, music and also the expansion of drugs. Giving place to new spaces and models of coexistence as well as new forms of communication, relationship and technological innovation that today still serve as a reference in European cities such as Berlin, Paris, Madrid or Barcelona.

The institutional tools developed in New York, as is the case after the historical exoerience with community gardens, as well as the law of homosexual marriage and the already established gay and transsexual culture in California since the 1960s show the progress with respect to Spain.

However, not only Spain has to learn from the US but also from there it can be useful to create a relationship on these issues with the UPM, since Spain is one of the European countries where the culture of collective ls has developed more. Especially on the part of the effervescent post-crisis generation that is generating social innovation systems and new urban models and alternative ways of understanding the collective urban space. The academy has to absorb and channel through research the relational dynamics that are taking place today in the streets If the university adopts an active role in this awareness of the global epistemic change, hosting and funding research from its facilities, contributing to the realization, prototyping and configuration of tools to address these new spatial models among which the object of Study of this project, would adopt a leading role in a field of study that is beginning to be addressed already in European universities such as Berkeley, Columbia, AA or schools such as Barlett School through its classes and research groups.

*duration of the stay: 11

A five-month stay is proposed, given the double combination of objectives, on the one hand, to explore the Berkeley bibliographic archive, on the other hand, to map the aforementioned affected network.

12

Lastly, it can only be added that the final results of the stay will also depend on the considerations and guidance of the professor who will direct the work of the doctoral student, which will only enrich the research.

LOISAIDA COMMUNITY GARDENS Affective space, dissent in contemporary urban space 2017-2018 77.2

Given the abandonment by the public sector and the lack of private investment in the Loisaida neighborhood, a network of community sites has, since the 60s, presented a model of appropriation and reorientation of public space. This spontaneous and diffuse infrastructure of the common attacks from marginalization against the lack of equipment and green areas of the neighborhood. Its parameters no longer have to do with European representativeness or traditional monumentality; instead, they are relational, they are based on conditions of affection and dissent. These, framed in the affective and spatial turn of the 90s make up what we call affecdent spaces.

The gardens of Loisaida are shaped by the relationships of affection exposed, and being in a situation of dissent they present the characteristics of the affecdent spaces: they operate with independent technologies, their own codes and a redefined organization. Affective spaces prove to be more effective in their programmatic and material adaptation, their creativity and constructive innovation, but above all in their ability to reinvent the public through the common and from a critical distance from the status quo, closer to the user.

The interest of studying an example like this, with such a journey and great experience on participatory and social processes, is to be able to copy it to other younger spaces and collective dynamics like the Cebada Square or This is a square, or processes like the recent Imagina Madrid that begin today in Madrid and Barcelona or Valencia to become relevant and generate network. We can undoubtedly learn to move from the case study of Loisaida’s gardens and of all New York in general to the current contemporary situation of Spanish cities, where there is lower experience, both at the legal and at the urban awareness level and where tools and official processes have yet to be established to be able to regulate this type of spaces and dynamics of the common in urban environments.

Loisaida community Gardens

Felicity Scott analyses in Outlaw territories types of architectures that arose in territories outside the law, taking up the term of Steward Brand, which linked the non-normative with the power to “test and test and test”. While Brand conceived geographical distancing as necessary, the gardens of Loisaida are de-localized even while immersed in the middle of the city. They are configured as a spontaneous and molecular emergence, as Stefano Boeri would say, of small actors taking initiatives in this de-localized network.

5

6

As in the Californian communes, in the Loisaida sites were also experimented construction methods and alternative technologies, developing instrumental innovations independent from authority.

7

The Charas group, then The Great Real Society, “a self-managed and procreative community development movement” according to Shapins, encouraged these neighborhood actions. In 1965, its founders, Chino García and Angelo González, shifted the model of the street gangs, their human and organizational strength, to community management. This, added to the existence of empty sites in Loisaida, generated an identity and urban self-management system.

8

In 1967, before Matta-Clark met them, Charas contacted Buckminster Fuller, who provided instructions for the construction of a geodesic dome in La Plaza Cultural as detailed by Syeus Mottel. Its low cost, its resistance, its rapid construction and its ability to adapt, allowed its expansion to more sites and rooftops, including Harlem and the Bronx. (Fig. 6 and 7)

9

Whereas Scott, in his Acid Visions, assimilated the use of the dome in the Drop-city to a commercial strategy suitable for Fuller, in Loisaida the domes were seen as symbols of the effort and achievements of the community, rather than as environments in which to experiment the psychedelia. (Fig. 8 and 9)

10

With this background, users have continued to build small buildings, which make up an inventory of appropriation of space. Understanding that the dome in 1967 served to appropriate the space, currently other geometries and specialized elements are necessary to establish a dialog with what exists in the garden. The casitas or the cages of protection of vegetal species, the stands and urban pots or the community huts are affordable technologies that conform circuits of self-learning and self-sufficiency of the neighborhood. Their eclectic forms of construction, vernacular and somewhat chic, are among the popular ornament and sophisticated optimization of the material.

11

12

These, generated by heterodox architects, by members of Charas and by neighbors, are based on their experience and their Nuyorican culture and weave a field of relations in the network of gardens, giving character and identity to the neighborhood. The philosophy of “make your own city” or DIY offers since the 60s a dissident model whose instrumental capacity is of vital importance for the development of Loisaida and constitutes a characteristic of the affecdent space

Urban space cannot be solely understood as the series of physical elements that configure the visible tissue of streets, buildings, parks and boulevards.

It cannot be understood from the Euclidian perspective that uses cartesian geometry as the only means to measure it.

Martin Heidegger defined space as a place of interaction that deserves our attention.[2] From his perspective, space is determined by the moments of closeness and distance that are characteristic of our relationship to the world, rather than being simply conformed by a geometric structure. For example, he argues that the distance between pieces of furniture does not occur according to measuring principles, but, rather, is established as a result of our relationship to them (whether they can be reached with our arm, or whether they can be moved around, etc). [2] This definition of space is both magical and liberating: if space can be defined as ‘the possibility to draw attention to something’, it would follow that, from an individual perspective, the elements excluded from such attention would then cease to exist.

The aim of this mobile model is to generate a research usefull device that allows for experimenting and visualizing the affective space that generated during the revolts.

It does not seek to elaborately elucidate the concrete characteristics of the event, but, rather, it functions as a preliminary approach to the nature of emergent affectiveemotional landscapes. This approach could in turn allow us to both establish and modify its connections and nerve centres. The device constitutes a mise en scène, an experimental strategy, rather than a model seeking to be replicated or a faithful representation in dimensional terms.

Along with other works and experiences, this should be a determining factor that could help improve the understanding of urban practice from a perspective that is based on contingent thought. Undoubtedly, such an approach entails thinking about city making from the perspective of the social fabric, allowing the city to ‘build itself’ from these emergent, affective spaces.

2 Paris affective space 2013 Modelling: Opening up the field of the possible.

Thus, in the first place, modelling May ‘68 in Paris means being rid of the measuring burden, of geometrical and physical distance, and focusing instead on urban spaces where the protests took place as well as on the spacetime relationships that were formed between these spacesbetween streets and building sites, between squares and parks, between all of the above and the people whom occupied them.

Complementing the research, a model is made that physically explores the dissident landscape of #M68 through a detailed assembling of rigorously studied, multiple relational situations that occurred during the protests. These were placed either next to each other, on top of each other, or overlapping.

The device, which is made of cardboard, flexible thread, and magnets is rudimentary in essence: however, it broadens the commonplace context of research, conferring the concept of ‘the model’ with a degree of movement and freedom that opens up the spectrum of possible solutions and leaves room for the unexpected. [See Model #M68]

Mayo del 68 contiene ingredientes con los que trabajar en la contemporaneidad en el campo de la arquitectura y de los estudios urbanos. Así, a través del estudio de varias situaciones contemporáneas puestas en paralelo con el caso de estudio principal se querría llegar a comprender varias cuestiones.

Cómo el espacio afectivodisidente ha de ser considerado en las prácticas espaciales como un parámetro de trabajo más.

Cómo la comprensión de ese espacio afectivodisidente nos lleva a aproximarnos no sólo a las dinámicas urbanas informales sino que nos demostrará cómo un proyecto de arquitectura hoy en día puede ser entendido de la misma forma que un proyecto urbano. El objetivo de esta tesis es demostrar que el urbanismo de la ortodoxia está obsoleto así como lo está el proyecto de arquitectura, y que la única salida para ambos es dejar atrás la brecha que se generó cuando Lefebvre plantea por primera vez su teoría socio-espacial para entender que la ciudad y la parcela son lo mismo y pueden abordarse desde los mismos parámetros.

The relational field that emerged in the City of Paris during May ‘68 [from now on #M68] was made of a dynamic myriad of invisible bonds and spatial layers of communication and empathy. The complexity of this emotional environment translated into physical, urban space through the act of taking to the streets and appropriating urban furniture, building barricades, and, most fundamentally, through the constant appearance of written testimonies on the walls of Paris in the form of grafitti, spontaneous slogans or urban calligrams. Streets gave up their predominant role as transit sites in order to become dissident spaces of discussion, appropriation, transformation and debate. Normative, Euclidean space was imbued with countless layers of affectivity, social conflict, use, activity, energy, as well as the expansion of bodies in space.

Because these intangible layers transform space, they interfere with the spatial response that may be provided by any architectural project. Thus, dealing with such subjective spaces within an urban environment entails the challenge of creating new unveiling devices that can unmask the interactions between emotional and physical bodies. Arguably, through the act of unmasking and revealing relational space, these could provide an insightful approach to the possibilities of the invisible in the field of contemporary architecture and urban space.

Indeed, there comes a moment when, in Bachelard’s words, ‘lived space transcends the geometric’. [3] In the urban realm, these affective spheres generate an urban landscape. The latter emerges through the materialisation of a common space made of related meanings, both physical and otherwise, that generate between people who are bonded or linked in different ways. The affective understanding of space is in turn conceived once and again in a constant fluctuation that has consequences in individual space. The translation of emotional space into physical space is sustained by an array of intangible affective and topological relationships.

Campo de Cebada Social and multidisciplinary urban project in Madrid 2011-2015

Citizen participation processes and negotiation dynamics can be seen as truly utilitarian space generator, evolutionary and adapted to the needs of today’s society micro architectures that represents an heterodox image of the city. The active participation of citizens in the construction of their city, of their everyday life in the lefebvrian sense [1], turns into one of the motor of the production of an eloquent space in cities, endowed with a “value of use”, a lived space that is 3 confronted to “ social and political forces that raze urban running “ .

El zócalo empático diseña relaciones espacio-temporales y no formas sólidas u objetos acabados. Para ello, se reinterpreta un plan urbano convencional, que re-entiende los parámetros y protocolos usuales de trabajo en la ciudad, y se diseña una estrategia que guía, pero no ultra-define, la acción arquitectónica.

Posibilidades, y condiciones de materialidad, gradaciones de acción en lo existente, profundidades y anchos de fachada, niveles de electrificación y conexión..etc recorren desde la micro-escala XS de una papelera en la calle hasta la magnitud L del circuito global de agua y energía que recorre el barrio. La alineación de calle se flexibiliza, el límite del ámbito público y el privado acepta negociaciones y pactos, abriendo el dialogo entre vecinos, comerciantes, propietarios y administración. Confiando más en la idea de red-infraestructura, o más bien micro-estructura, que en la gran pieza dotacional, se compone un plan-red anisótropo de líneas inteligentes y nodos/ 82 soportes cambiantes e inter-conectados entre sí. Lo llamaremos empático, por

su capacidad de adaptarse a los espacios a los que sirve y a los usos y tiempos cambiantes que de las calles hacen los vecinos en Lavapiés.

Así, se amplían y actualizan los usos urbanos, canalizando adecuadamente toda la intensidad espaciotemporal tan característica del barrio. Como objetivo; optimizar sus recursos propios, ofrecer soluciones a sus innegables problemas urbanos concretos, y alejar al barrio del camino de la degradación y el abandono institucional al que ha parecido condenado durante años.

El zócalo empático, pretende materializar una actitud arquitectónica de lectura e intervención urbana, que desde la escala de una red empática, recupera y prepara al barrio para enfrentar una contemporaneidad acuciante en el uso de la ciudad, que hoy en día sigue necesitando de una reflexión crítica, conjunta y propositiva por parte a las esferas institucionales, y los distintos agentes de intervención urbana.
