What we understand as informality existed a long time before the term was coined. For a better understanding of the phenomenon, it is necessary to trace the origins of those activities that over time have been carried outside the legal system that formally defines the modern nation-state. The article seeks to articulate the contemporary informal phenomenon to other ways of existing outside the law that have their origin in colonial regimes, characterized by the need to implement parallel government and legal systems. It is about understanding informality as a phenomenon typical of postcolonial situations and proposing ways out from that reading.

In Lima, as in other large Latin American cities, the daily experience of its inhabitants is framed by relations of inequality that go beyond the great economic differences normalized in capitalist societies. Urban inequality is presented as a multidimensional phenomenon in which its main components and the way they interact with each other is not universal, but have been constructed and structured throughout the history of each society, following the specific characteristics of each urban center, so we can refer of an intersectional inequality. A review of the urban history of Lima is proposed, which seeks to demonstrate how urban inequality has been constructed, and to show how the production of the city and the production of inequality have been two sides of the same process. Inequality and its relationship with fragmentation will be characterized, and then a conceptual model will be ...

Desde muchas perspectivas el proyecto moderno en arquitectura no podría haberse gestado con la solidez que lo hizo a inicios del siglo XX de no haber sido por las demandas que recibió de la sociedad a fines del siglo anterior. Si bien el siglo XIX es rico en experiencias de carácter artístico formal, no será sino hasta la densificación y crisis de las ciudades, producto de la industrialización, que el discurso moderno, racional y eficientista logrará consolidarse.

No presenta resumen.

En este trabajo los autores se intentan bosquejar derroteros para una reflexión sobre la vivienda que parece tardar en incorporar los importantes cambios ocurridos en las últimas dos décadas; su mirada se centra en las relaciones entre el espacio arquitectónico y la noción de habitar, el rol de la tecnología en su definición y las relaciones de privacidad e intimidad de cara a este nuevo milenio.

Enseñar en una escuela de arquitectura el tema de la vivienda significa tomar posición dentro del debate contemporáneo, puede constituirse en una forma de resistencia al ejercicio arquitectónico como una aventura meramente individual y casi artística, o asumir la modernidad como un proyecto inacabado o entender que le único espacio donde la vivienda tiene un sentido sensato es en su rol urbano, o finalmente encontrar una vía distinta y singular a nuestra realidad específica.
