Guía de actividades docentes para la formación en integración e igualdad de oportunidades por razón de discapacidad en las enseñanzas técnicas: accesibilidad universal y diseño para todos

Esta guía se ha promovido desde la Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña (UPC) en un momento caracterizado por la transición a los nuevos grados y másteres. Elaborada con un enfoque práctico y didáctico, quiere ser una herramienta de fácil uso y lectura para el profesorado de las carreras técnicas de cualquier universidad española, aportando ejemplos de aplicación de los principios de diseño para todos y criterios de accesibilidad universal en su práctica docente

Barcelona en el punto de mira : lecturas de la ciudad

The thesis "Barcelona in the spotlight. Readings of the city" propases an overview of the city derived from the process of architectural design. lt propases to decipher the concept of a city which exists implicitly in the buildings sketches in the urban context. The image of the city shown in architectural drawings is not an exact copy of reality rather it expresses the particular way in which it is being perceived. The central hypothesis, is an analysis of the "Purposeful look" that which the architect chieves during the project when he or she perceives, understands and transforms the city not from the perspective of the town planning but from the conception of a specific building: the project outline revealing an idea of what city is. In parallel, the view of the city is investigated from different angles: readings from the theory of perception and urban analysis, the city as it is filmed; the city as it is drawn. A repertoire of «ways of seeing» is constructed with which to address the strictly architectural part of the the thesis. The study of the "purposeful look" will display the tools available to the architect with which to express his or her concept of the city; will examine the concept of the city implicit within each image and, finally, will explain the evolution over time of the distinct viewpoints of different architects. In specific response to the questions raised the city of Barcelona is presented as an individual case study. Large scale urban transformations took place in the city of Barcelona during a relatively short time frame. To narrow down the investigation this study will focus on the period from 1976, (the date of approval of the Metropolitan General Plan, the beginning of town planning in Barcelona as a newly democratic city ) until 2011 (Overlay look 2.0). lt was decided to confine the analysis of examples exclusively to those from architectural ideas competitions. The specific context of competitions allows for an effective comparison of different ways of seeing. In the competitons, enormously varied visions of the city are advanced in relation to identical locations and programmes.Therefore, through systematic study of these competitions, the necessary tools for tackling this research into the city of Barcelona are to be found. The projects which have been analyzed have aspects in common which may be summarised as nine ideas of the city: "memory city" "permeable city", "public space city", "geometry city" "landscape city ", "fragment city","symbolic city", "collage city" and "reflection city". The representation of these differing cities contains many subtle elements which can be depicted as Matrix of city concepts. This figure allows us to draw columns representing time, rows inserting the different projects of each competition and to ad colors for each type of city concept. In short, Barcelona in the spotlight. Views of the city"brings the concept of "Purposeful look" as a tool of analysis available to the architect to express their idea of the city through drawing and images of the same. This thesis establishes the relationship and evolution between the type of graphical representation, the project design process and the city concept which it is associated.La tesis "Barcelona en el punto de mira. Lecturas de la ciudad" trata sobre la mirada hacia la ciudad realizada desde el proceso del proyecto arquitectónico. Se plantea como objetivo descifrar el concepto de ciudad que existe implícito en los esbozos del edificio en el contexto urbano. La imagen de la ciudad que muestran los dibujos no es una copia exacta de la realidad sino que contiene una determinada forma de percibirla. Como hipótesis, se denomina "mirada propositiva" a aquélla que el arquitecto realiza durante el proceso de proyecto cuando percibe, comprende y transforma la ciudad no desde los planes urbanísticos, sino desde la concepción de un edificio concreto: el boceto desvela una idea de ciudad. En paralelo, se investiga la mirada hacia la ciudad desde distintas ópticas: lecturas desde la teoría de la percepción y análisis urbano, la ciudad filmada, la ciudad dibujada. Con ello se construye un repertorio de "nodos de ver" con el cual abordar la parte propiamente arquitectónica de la tesis. El estudio de la "mirada propositiva" mostrará las herramientas de que dispone el arquitecto para expresar su concepto de ciudad; qué concepto de ciudad contiene implícito cada imagen y, por último, la evolución en el tiempo de las distintas miradas de los arquitectos. Para responder de forma concreta a las cuestiones formuladas se toma como caso particular la ciudad de Barcelona. En ella se generan grandes transformaciones urbanas en espacio temporal relativamente corto. Para acotar la investigación se selecciona el período que abarca desde 1976 (fecha de aprobación del Plan General Metropolitano, inicio del urbanismo de la Barcelona democrática) hasta el año 2011 (superposición de la mirada 2.0). Del conjunto de los diversos proyectos de este período destacan los ejemplos de los concursos de ideas porque -sobre un mismo programa y un mismo emplazamiento- generan respuestas alternativas -incluso antagónicas- al abordar un mismo contexto urbano. Se profundiza la investigación a través de las propuestas presentadas a nueve concursos de ideas celebrados en Barcelona que hilvanan el periodo mencionado (1976-2011 ). La "mirada propositiva" es aquélla que plantea una idea de ciudad. Del estudio de las propuestas presentadas a los nueve concursos se identifican nueve conceptos de urbe distintos: "ciudad memoria", "ciudad permeable", "ciudad espacio público", "ciudad geometría". "ciudad paisaje", "ciudad fragmento", "ciudad simbólica","ciudad collage" y "ciudad reflejo". La representación de las distintas ciudades contiene múltiples elementos sutiles que se pueden dibujar en forma de una Matriz de ciudades. Ésta permite relacionar los nueve concursos con las ideas de ciudad que se destilan de los proyectos realizados por los distintos arquitectos. En síntesis, Barcelona en el punto de mira. "Lecturas de la ciudad" aporta el concepto de la "mirada propositiva" como herramienta de análisis de la que dispone el arquitecto para expresar su idea de ciudad a través del dibujo e imágenes de la misma. Esta tesis establece la relación y evolución entre el tipo de representación gráfica, proyecto arquitectónico y el concepto de ciudad asociado.Postprint (published version
