El happening en la Arquitectura Participativa

To democratise the city, the dynamics of political participation in the urban landscape is not enough and therefore such dynamics must be examined since the codes of both disciplines (Architecture and Politics) currently vary so much that in general, the expectations of citizens are not achieved, creating a sense of deception in view of scenes that unfold in participatory development as if it were an institutionalised happening. But this happening is significant in constructing the urban landscape and the aesthetic experience that such action entails. This could help people to make the place their own by establishing communication between the political dimension and the poetic dimension of the urban landscape. Inserting a participatory phase is proposed subsequent to the ideation, where citizens collaborate during the development and again upon completion of the project. As in any happening, there is small script to follow, but later the participants are free to do as they wish. Thus, we would speak of Participatory Construction and not of Participatory Architecture, where associations can be made to Post-minimalism, lending great importance to the process and opening developments within the discipline and provide feedback.
