Session 274. "Landscape Through" Gabriel Díaz Montemayor This presentation begins with an interpretation of the built environment in Mexico and Latin America as a process and practice that emerges from the city and the landscape, which are culturally understood as a dichotomy. The "Landscape Through" approach invites us to consider the built environment as a network of embedded scales and systems, creating a diversity of thresholds, interstices, and ecotones that impact, support, and evolve alongside one another, suggesting their dissolution. There is no such thing as an intact, pristine natural environment, nor is there a complete, determined urban environment. This argument is presented as a reflection aimed at fostering a more socially and environmentally just habitat, one that is implementable for the transformation and regeneration of our cities. The presentation is structured around a theoretical framework and a variety of projects developed through applied academic research, design workshops as service initiatives, and professional projects.
