Restauración fluvial como estrategia de diseño urbano. Un diálogo entre investigación y diseño. Concurso río Andalién, Concepción, Chile
Espinosa Rojas, Paulina ; De Meulder, Bruno ; Ollero Ojeda, Alfredo (Universidad de Zaragoza)
Resumen: A diferencia de otras ciudades en Chile, el desarrollo histórico de Concepción no transformó por completo el sistema fluvial del río Andalién, por lo que permite aún ver fragmentos de estructuras naturales que están activas y, por lo tanto, existe la posibilidad de volver a imaginar la ciudad manteniendo estas estructuras vivas. Esto es un tema relevante bajo el escenario de crecimiento planificado para Concepción, donde la mayor parte de su nueva urbanización se encuentra dentro de la cuenca de este río. Este artículo analiza de manera crítica los resultados de un concurso internacional que ilustra el diálogo entre la academia y los diseñadores, quienes en conjunto generan nuevas ideas en torno a preguntas de diseño abiertas y en múltiples escalas para abordar la restauración fluvial como estrategia de diseño urbano, donde se discuten una serie de conceptualizaciones y posibilidades para el futuro de la ciudad mientras se restaura parte del sistema natural del río. Las bases del concurso buscaron que los escenarios fuesen elaborados como algo que fuera más allá de una cruzada ecológica o de un embellecimiento del espacio público, puesto que estructuras naturales con un funcionamiento saludable pueden jugar un papel crucial en la estructuración de la ciudad en un momento en que se necesita un razonamiento distinto mientras se acometen grandes proyectos de canalización como solución para segur urbanizando.
Unlike other cities in Chile, the historical development of Concepción did not completely transform the río Andalién.
There remain active natural riverine structures. In contemporary urbanization, it is possible to re-envision the city by keeping these structures alive. This is a relevant issue considering the majority of the new urbanization is planned within the basin of this river. This study critically analyses the results of a design exercise conducted through an international design competition, the call for which was developed as a dialogue between academia and practitioners who together elaborated around multi-scalar and open-ended design questions. Competition participants designed scenarios from the basin to the urban
tissue and developed a series of conceptualizations and possibilities for the urban future of the city while restoring the
river. It was intended that the scenarios would go beyond either an “ecological crusade” or landscape beautification and structure urbanism based upon the functioning natural of the river. The urban design strategy proposals raise timely and necessary points for discussion when it is still possible to activate natural systems in relation to city-building while channelization seems to be the only possible solution.
