Undergraduate Thesis Technological Social Integrative Space
[The evolution of the urban space as a response to the social interaction]
A project based in the conclusion of a research.
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic [September 2012-October 2013] 5th year Architecture Bachelor Mentor: Michelle Valdez, MArch. email: mmvaldezguerra@icloud.com
In my research, I learned that the answer was public space. I was searching the different places people conglomerate and analyse what kind of space they were. The only time when we have the closest point to an open and public area is “La FerĂa del Libro,â€? a book fair/festival that annually celebrates the book itself. My project was to make that festival constant, clean and secure for all the people while maintaining the people gathering in an inclusive environment. How humans and spaces co-evoluted and make a simbiosis between each others, and how technology help that process to happen.
