Abstract

The following essay attempts to establish the pertinence of an evolution in the traditional work potocol of the disciplines of the architecture and territory, as a consequence of the identification of a serie of transformative socio-cultural emergencies (new transcendent topics) for, on the basis of a genealogical analysis, found the theoretical bases of a new sight of the intervention into the former ones. This, alternative to the current technological accent vision, favors creative tools over diagnostic ones and postulates fictional construction as a basis, the use of the landscape (understood in a complex way) as a connective tissue of the territory (socially, culturally, aesthetically, productive, economic, ethical, etc.) and the story (storytelling) as a fundamental tool and vehicle that generates possible, credible and shared futures. For this protocol ideation, it explores the history of mythological and epic constructions of the intangible and of the concrete (city, geography, landscape) and the evolutions of fictional construction from the mythical and epic to the iconic and thematic. Delves into the role of telling and narration as an architectural and territorial practice, unveiling its tools and studying its possible disciplinary migration from literature to architecture, landscape, urban planning and territorial ordinance. Finally, it analyzes the specificity of the Latin American territory (of 'recent invention', unusual dimensions, dispersed and varied specificities) and its innate condition of told and lettered territory, as indicative elements of the opportunity for the initial trial of this new method in the aforementioned territorial cut.
