Abstract

The history of cities is built from a superposition of layers. The resulting architectural landscapes are in an eternal transformation and contain the memory of slower times of the past that mix with the immediacy of the present. This results in landscapes of disappearance, scars, traces, which are also intervened by the viewer's gaze, its emotions and memories.

Contemporaneity questions the changes in cities and their repercussions on different urban landscapes. An integral landscape is sought, where the passage of time is the starting point to project towards the future.

Darío Álvarez Álvarez, professor and architect, director of the LAB/PAP, spoke with us remotely in October 2021. It was inquired about the importance of time in the architectural landscape and how architecture and cities could be affected or not, by this.
