| Ravines | AN UNCERTAIN ECOLOGY IN THE CITY.

INVERScape(s): BARRANCO Inverted

In 1777, after its destruction, Guatemala City was moved to a strategic territory, a set of pre-existing plateaus, a dramatic landform, where rain and erosion had carved deep ravines around and in the inner city, giving a morphologic phenomena that constrains the urban form and its society’s anthropo-geographical behavior since that time until our days. A shift on the ways that guatemalan citizens relates to nature and its space between the urban realm. Something that usually reflects a NO manifesto (by de facto), a situation without any appreciation to nature’s existence despite the geographical and ecological condition that easily pops out, as inherent and beneficial relationship between nature and urbanity. Even more obvious when is recognizable that our city is above the ravines level.

meters above sea level meters above ravines level (MARL) In local culture, to be “above” ravine’s level, is to be part of the city’s productive strata, thus everything that goes below level, represent the invisible layer denied by the city itself. For young generations, the culture of “can not”, in relation to the ravines possible uses, makes a kind of barred land in the urban agenda. Paradoxically, to consent this statement is to approve, on the one hand, that natural environment (our ecological persona) is what our city classify as waste and therefore, everything within its territory. On the other hand, creates a kind of exception, where poverty and social conflicts are allowed. The ravines are an uncertain ecology in the city, with important environmental attributes and in turn, territorial segregation still is the social challenge. What would be the citizen’s anthropo-geographical behavior if this condition was the opposite, an inverted one? What would be the urban challenges with a inverse landscape? How we would engage our natural scapes by expose them?

These questions address the necessity to ponder the ravines and its actual value to society. By using the idea of inverse landforms (as speculative method), the project aims to find a more visible way to confront the role of ravines in our city and local culture. INVERScape(s) inverted speculative space - a catalyst idea INVERScape(s) is a two years ongoing research+project that investigates, explores and designs ravines as territorial-capitallandscape behind the dominating idea of WASTE below city level. AIMS Discover - reverse confrontation (citizens perception about ravines) Evidence - territorial potential (trans-disciplinary work table process, mapping potentials) Implement - challenge by incorporate design (public policies, stakeholders and bottoms-up strategy) Nor activate the presence of ravines in the collective imaginary, or the idea of new urban parks for the city is enough, therefore, ravines are conceived as ensemble of the urban territory and not as a static image of nature, restricted to simple preservation operation. IS ABOUT Is about questioning those values in terms of social, economic and environmental potentials in a more comprehensive and participatory method, able to design proposals that produce a differentiated ravines as urban landscape, which informs and improves the city-planning agenda in Guatemalaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urbanization process. Is about innovative land-use possibilities via multidisciplinary approach, and also, concrete actions regarding the management and development of productive ravines as more active territory, integrated to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban complexity. Is about consider the way we think about nature in the city and the intentional strategy to inverse a state of depreciation about nature and urbanity below city level in local culture.

&A. | Questions & Answers | INQUIRIES FROM THE IABR.

Answering the enquiries sent by IABR on July 25th.

Q. Which is the way the project is being concretized together with the municipality and the university?

A. This research will unveil the ravines potential. Together with the Municipality, it will craft criteria for the upgrade of public policies for zones G-0 and G-1 determined in the POT (current building codes) . At the same time it will contribute together with the ongoing working group within the Environmental Department of the Municipality of Guatemala for the establisment of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ecological Beltâ&#x20AC;? of Guatemala City.

A. Academically, we have formal agreements to develop research and design activities to be determined with the following Research Institutes and Architectural Schools: National Council of Science and Technology (CONCYT), General Office of Research (DIGI - USAC), San Carlos de Guatemala University (USAC), El Istmo University (UNIS) and, Rafael Landivar University (URL).

A. More information can be found in the Mental Map and Timeline sections of this document.

Q. How, and in which phases, will the (design?) project develop in the coming months (both in terms of research and in design work), and how are these public partners involved in this process to concretize the work? The aerial photographs are striking. We are wondering, though, in what form you intend to develop both the explanatory research and proposed design material with regards to the exhibition specifically.

A. We craft this document to broad our topic and answer those questions. In that regard, the main sections of this document are: Scope brief. Introduction. Questions and answers to the IABR enquiries. Research precedents. Current public policies and Historic Timeline. Territory description. The ravine condition. Mental map - Research metodology Research Timeline. IABR - Exhibition Materials

POT (Land Use Plan for Guatemala City) POT (Plan de ordenamiento territorial) is the the body of regulations for building and urban planning for Guatemala City. It categorizes the territory in general zones ranging from urban to rural from G-5 to G-0. G Zones Determine the applicable guiding parameters within a piece of land. It comprises the construction, land uses, and the procedures that must be followed in order to get municipal permits. G0-G1 These are characterized as natural and rural zones. Any type of construction is severely restricted.The land uses authorized for these zones are natural, conservative, and ecological (rural, agricultural activities, livestock or forests). These areas are considered environmentally valuable but have a greater risk for natural disasters due to their soil characteristics. They belong to the proposal of the ecological belt of the Municipality of Guatemala.

G2-G5 These are characterized as urban zones. The difference between these zones is the intensity of construction. Were the G-5 has the greater index of allowed buildability. Interestingly, they promote the mix uses in the entire city.

Map: Land Use for Guatemalaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Municipality ( source: POT 2009 )

Frozen Zones After the POT became effective, the ravines of Guatemala City were classified as G-0 and G-1. As a result, their economic and social value can be considered â&#x20AC;&#x153;frozen,â&#x20AC;? because they were reduced to an environmental conservancy areas. Although is true that such regulation allowed the partial conservation of the ravines, the absence of public policies to activate them caused abandonment and lack of integration to the the City.

Map: G0 + G1 Zones ( source: POT 2009 )

Topography Was a key issue to determine G0-G1. In G-0 the slope is greater than 40% while in G-1 is between 20% and 40%. Because of the ravine conditions, it is also taken into account the protection of strips on rivers, streams, flora, and wildlife. These general zones will be regulated in the guidelines â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regulations for the Development of the Ecological Belt of the Municipality of Guatemala.â&#x20AC;? However, the current attempts are only based upon a conservationist agenda neglecting their economic and social development.
