Activism in architecture: towards a characterization of collectives in Latin America
Nicolás Ventroni

Abstract
The article proposes the construction of a generalist characterization of activist practices in architecture, in groups also known as Collectives of Architects. There are seven points that comprise this characterization and will allow the delimitation of the category of Collectives. To reach this characterization, the most relevant theoretical background is first considered. The verification of these characteristics in specific cases is carried out using the series of Las Tres Esperanzas schools from the Ecuadorian study Al Borde.

Feminist urban collectives: insurgent actions for a care city

Abstract
The theoretical framework that underpins the study demonstrates clear evidence on the growth of feminist collectives as a political force and movement that invokes a planning with a gender perspective. This conjuncture of great expectations for social transformation in cities is crossed by an unequal reality of rights, well-being and benefits, in which access to urban goods significantly affects women. The question that has guided the investigation turns to the performance of feminist collectives in cities: how could this movement of action of feminist collectives point to integration or creation of urban public policies with a gender perspective? The emergence of new experiences of multiplier resistance intends to question the imposed planning models and broaden the reflection on alternative urban futures in contemporary times. As a result of the work, we present examples of performances by feminist collectives.

Towards the territoriality of environmental conflicts in urban wetlands. The cases of the Laguna de Rocha and Santa Catalina reserves
Sergio Adrián Caruso

39 Downloads


Abstract
The wetlands in the landscapes surrounding the Buenos Aires city were characterised by the emergence of environmental conflicts. These disputes arose from the conflicting interests, visions and actions of different social actors with respect to these environments. The logistics-industrial and urban services capitals sought economic uses through their incorporation into the urban infrastructure, disrupting the biophysical features of these wetlands, while the environmental movements followed the precepts of the Ramsar Convention to demand the protection and conservation of these sites. In addition, both groups deployed they territoriality via appropriation or domination according to their place in power relations as a measure of territorial control. The aim of this article is to explore the occurrence of environmental conflicts as well as to investigate the modalities of territoriality carried out by the social actors involved, taking the Laguna de Rocha and Santa Catalina reserves as empirical references.
