KARLA VILLAVICENCIO

17:00 Karla Villavicencio (Lima/Vienna)

IMA-R-GINAL ARCHITECTURE: STRUCTURES OF MEMORY IN CONTEMPORARY CITIES

Karla Villavicencio will talk about illegal cities in Latin America that are culturally, socially and politically marginalized. The aim of the lecture is to offer with the help of documentation a new perspective on urban development. The lecture will focus on Peru and on migration of the indigenous population from the Andes to Lima. It will try to show how immigration transforms the architecture of the city. Furthermore the lecture will propose a platform for reading visually the social impact of such transformations on the development of architecture. These architectural and urban spaces can be compared to a living skin that adapts itself to the needs of the migrants. For this reason such architecture makes clearly visible the social, economic and political dimensions of architecture.
