Proposal
ARCHITECTURE AS PROVOCATION. Reflections on the participation of children in the production of public spaces in Lima-Peru.
​
‘Escuela Espacial’ (Space School) (CITIO-CCC) is a playful project of civic, environmental and urban education that works since 2010 with children of different ages and conditions as protagonists of the production processes of the city, with the aim of generating critical thinking and spatial sensitivity for the construction of citizenship.
​
A training "from Architecture" allows to treat concepts related to inhabit that teach that living in a house and a neighborhood can be, more than a functional response and a passive aesthetic look, a conscious and active experience, an ethical and critical intervention of an environment built and re-built on a day-to-day basis, hand in hand with family, friends, neighbors, and strangers.
​
On a conceptual and methodological basis according to the Peruvian reality, specific workshops are designed according to the places, social components, intervention time and the public, in 7 modules:
​
-Body, Space, and Movement.
-Spatial Memory and Urban Imaginaries.
-Micro-projects and interventions.
-Construction and scale
-Poetry and Space
-Integral Urban Projects
- Urban Stages
​
The workshop to be held in Ludantia will interpolate the theoretical basis with practical exercises of each of the modules. The participants will interact with each other in different indoor and outdoor spaces.
