because we like in certain spaces
more than others to take a
photograph that is what these have
places that make them special
to want to take out the camera and capture
the moment
first we are looking for a place
attractive a place where we feel
sure a place where we are to taste
seeing and being seen and of course it’s
a place where we are going to generate a
identification with space and which
are the benefits that this has in a
city
you will know and have seen in other
occasions like there are places where they are
more attractive for the
couples that are getting married or by
of course 15 years
you are fundamental in the whole city we see
the quinceañeras that she chooses in places
specific to set such a date
important and we found that a place
attractive is also generally a
healthy ecological place where generally
there are trees in the open spaces
to feel safe we reflect it
crossed was reflected through the
vitality that has the space of what
vibrant that is the activities that
can be realized there seeing and being
seen immediately places us
we also in a position of
be natural observers of space
to control it and somehow
also to take care of it because this
identification with space too
it becomes a sense of
belonging and having sense of
belonging we take care of something if
someone is scratching what are we going to say
something if someone is throwing garbage
probably at least we’re going to
see with judging eyes or and that we
helps cities stay
no need to have to
necessarily take over the policy
public simply the space is
made to be inhabited and to be
watch out
the cinema is essential to understand these
these sequences to understand what
We are talking
the cinema specifically these
allen woody movies where does
from the city a one more character
we can see how it is indispensable
understand these characters involved
within a space to relate to
with what we want to reflect the
director in 79 Manhattan
we can see how the city becomes
in this space where they can talk in
this space where you live in the
Cities where you can go walking
four people side by side in a
common sidewalk and current
tell me monterrey like puny
sidewalk can go walking side by side
generally we go in single file no
because we have terrible seats and
that has consequences in the way that
you live the city
then experimented with other cities
after saying with your new girlfriend
york to london in this match point
later in vicky cristina cristina
barcelona what to do again they are always
open spaces those where
things happen not where it happens what
interesting where happens the
socialization where the
Representative scenes in Rome with
love and of course midnight in paris
where if it were not for these scenes of
protagonist walking on the banks of
river sena and to understand this as
absorbing the city as there
we would understand exactly the the
positioning that the character has
and us what movie would we be to
it comes to mind
this movie the 92 of joel schumacher
Falin down where the character is
michael douglas in the car and he is
waiting for the first scene look for it
on youtube you can find it
surely the character in the
car there is traffic does not move anything
are of course the horns is the
pollution is noise reflects it
also that reminds me of any
scene that we can have in the city I
I think it would definitely be our
city not above all thinking that we are
the first place in shocks throughout the
country and finally provoke
that the character leaves the car what
I gave up and start doing crazy things for
all the angels is significant
that does not find what are the values
that has a city and what are the
values that are reflected from them
I believe that anyone can
relate to this photograph with this
gonzalitos image at 7 o’clock at night
full peak hour of opportunities we have
in that place to do something interesting
absolutely none and with
opportunities to have people who are going
walking on the sides of that great
avenue
absolutely no opportunity to
Do something interesting what you want
say if they want to walk and
leave that place and if we have a place
that only serves as a journey and
not as a destination the place will be
abandoned was going to be propitious that others
Things happen to people who do not
wants to be seen by people who do not want
meet anyone who does not want to greet
nobody who does not want to be seen the end
we also have these other mini
paradisas hut these oasis inside the
city smelters one of them the
macroplaza is another the paseo santa lucía
is another of them we can also quote
the very chipinque that we have this
opportunity to have is surrounded by
mountains and we have these places
where we can enjoy the
landscapes that we have although every time the
pollution cream in our
Cities that is present and indivisible
but how can we move between one and
other
generally these places are
isolated and that is what connects the
streets that do not have any
ease to be inhabited or to
do
busy or to do at least
lived from a different perspective
other than the car is good
we have these places that are in
been practically what the
articulates are this kind of streets this
type of streets that although people go
who wants to stay in Juarez for
example to who believe that really be
there and watching in this avenue
however a lot of people the
they travel but place does not make it conducive
to be lived from another of others
circumstances and if we see how
the space is divided because we are going to
find also this kind of thing
we have a huge disproportion
of what is left for pedestrians and what
what’s left for cars and for
public transport is a
alarming disproportion and above all
it is also a limitation of things
what can be done in one place and another
by the physical conditions of space
however our own city
as difficult as we can
have also have these places
has also solved the form of the
mobility in a different way
we have also done this kind of
interventions in the city in which
the trees are what the
important points of how you can
living space and places for
sit down and thanks to those people who
they stay in these places sitting is
that space can be controlled from
certain way controlled in a way
positive
if we do not have these places
to be the places simply
they will serve as transit
this example is fundamental to see that
we can least locate in
this point of the macroplaza
we turn the camera to a place and
we see the the macroplaza completely
no people do not want to be there and nobody
wants to be under the sun
and flipping the camera to the other side
we can see a place that has everything
otherwise the conditions are
completely different
is full of people is full of
activities and that is the only thing
He varied the trees and the shade and in one
city that reaches 40 degrees
temperature is understood and
understands that it should be part of the
logic of the city
however , it is not
the public buildings themselves could
be the opportunity to generate these
different spaces those these spaces
of deceleration where you can go to
pay the property and then stay
sitting there taking the cool up
that you want to go at that accelerated pace
of the city in some way limits the
experimentation and batteries the
movements that we can do within
she
in this photo it is evident how the
shadow attracts activities or at least
movement and on the other side is a lot
more limited if they had understood that
the designers of this bridge that
made pedestrian completely because what
we’d better have a bridge with a lot
more activities with more vibrant and
more alive
at this point I like what the
tree as if it were a shelter is not
more heat than it can become
this city
if we understand that because we did not arrive
then from trees all places
that we have close because it does not arrive
because we do not seek the answer of
our city through ecology
also and maybe in a month they were
places where more people would like
take a picture is the least
of the vehicle photograph for
understand how spaces to train or
no people as well as spaces are
can you feel identified not and with what
so much has brought has not passed by
Felix u Gomez and Colon
It’s like a film state
science fiction with dystopian futures
where there is only concrete where
nobody wants to be of course the
ecology is completely out of
The equation
imagine being there at ten o’clock
night at 8
or at two in the afternoon I was and today
nobody wants to be in the place a place
which is the and insecure for the people and
that does not appeal to you of course at all and
It also has to do with how this
infrastructure that is very necessary for
assumption that public transport is
essential for a city the size of
the sample and think about transportation
public as an opportunity too
so that it would come up rethought
as a meeting place that goes to
pass when this line is in use and
all the people who travel in the subway are
want to go down in that place where it’s going
to walk if it’s going to provoke and
I think we need to understand how
we have the opportunity to improve
these security conditions
with all these elements, nothing else
with police or the station itself
metro who will want to stay to see
here
who is going to say see you in the
stairs of the gulf station we
we see in the sixth in the in the station
of the foundry park is not but there
up there are no people who can be
sitting on the stairs or joke
however in other countries with
very different problems but also
very similar to ours has been
could think about the subway and the stations
as a place and as an opportunity
so that other kinds of things happen
It is a station one meter high
just like our concrete just like
ours but doing the stairs
slightly larger not lightly
not much bigger so that by the
people can wait and this has brought
after the one who sells you comes
coffee to sell to the one who comes
come to the cigars and somehow
you create a sort of square around and
nothing is more is where it is generated
that in all the stations in in
Medellin or most have this
quality because the samples have to
be these scary stairs the
private initiative has also shown
that you can do things well
frame is the perfect example who does not know
has been left to see in the pigeon of marc and
that gives us that opportunity
Clement that the architect a genius
Legorreta decided to give this piece to
the city yield that corner
let’s not forget that since we put a
standing on the first step that place already
it is private
however it happens and it becomes a
icon of the city and it becomes
also in a refuge for those who
they walk around and also gave us another
very important lesson that is that the
sidewalks can be arranged or was it had
to come a district architect
federal to tell the regios that
The sun can also be covered with
trees and that you can put the
drumsticks
imagine that all the architects in
foreign monterrey or we would not have
decided to put our projects
sidewalks trees on the sidewalk that
continue so different we would have and for
supposed to improve the conditions of
walk skill improve them the
sidewalks remove the bumps clean
harmonize those that are so different
it would be the old neighborhood itself
This is a typical street of Varrenti
wasi are almost all sidewalks
tinier in which
we can find in the rest of the
city
cobblestones assuming also up to
danger for people who are leaving
walking and that now there is a need
surface much smoother and that if
It’s good for something to put cars but
where it serves to put cars eliminates the
possibility of anything else
happen and this is a street not so
typical of the bar in the same old neighborhood
where other things can happen
thanks to the thought of the trees
of people people it was thought that they
I can walk
and I ‘m happy to put the
Old neighborhood hashtag on facebook
with the integral and take out all these
photographs that were taken from the
second photograph of the first who
he wanted to take a photograph and not
we are talking about the photo again
we are talking about what causes you
want to drink tea a photograph some the
final
determined place and changes
positive that there may be for an area
that there is that then yes we
we agreed this example of playing is a
street that serves to move on foot
stacked and to circulate in transport
private or and some and some public not
but without exclusive lanes or much
less what would happen if we started to see
this as an opportunity to start
change the cities and to start
show how with a simple operation
of bench with a simple bet other
type of mobility and of course
thinking that if we want them to change
to the people, we have to give them
shadows then that too we
causes that there is an ecological project
of planting trees and that too
helps to clean the air in the
most polluted city in the continent
it’s a win to win everywhere and
surely there is going to be one more place
attractive to take a photograph and
our city has a super point
important that we sometimes forget someone
recognize which is where this was taken
Photograph of Santa Catarina River
exactly a place that already has water
that already has fish that already has birds that
already has an important vegetation and
that does not need courts and does not need
cars and not needed caps for
function
works very well in this way at
you will need a few stairs of
wood or a wooden ramp that we
let enjoy this space as you
you can enjoy the river bouquets in allende
but we do not understand that closeness that
we have with space because it is
limited with two very important walls
for anyone who are two
avenues the two main avenues of
our city constitution and morones
tight
What would happen if we gave back
to how we understand this place and how
we can enjoy it differently
and also understand how this can be
turn into an axis that divides the city
but that can also be an axis
integrator
