The vastities of the south Meeting with Patagonia

Abstract

Atlantic Patagonia is one of the categorical vastness of the Conosur, with its macro-history, with a powerful exogenous cultural construction and its locals, with charismatic and discreet landscapes of a highly challenged naturalness. Architectural practices in this vastness could be charged with meaning when reflected and symbolized within a broader territoriality, a Global Garden, a notion that arbitrates its landscape specificity and a local and supralocal multi-actor geopolitics. Patagonia thus conceived is proposed as a trigger for territorial projects in accordance with the sensitivities and the necessary eco-social pacts of a post-humanist time in this South.
