En este trabajo se estudia el Paseo de las Cadenas como ejemplo representativo de cómo el espacio residual entre la plaza y el atrio de la Catedral se utilizó como un elemento integrador entre dos espacios: el público y el privado. Se considera que estos espacios residuales se convierten en espacios públicos por el uso colectivo y la apropiación progresiva que hace de ellos la gente en sus usos cotidianos para transformarlos en lugar de encuentro, en sitio de expresión colectiva y de diversidad social y cultural. Este uso colectivo transformó entre 1840 y 1860 un espacio residual en un paseo público donde no sólo se materializaron las relaciones entre los habitantes de la ciudad, sino también, en el aspecto histórico-político, entre el poder civil y el religioso. Conocer la historia de este paseo permitirá entender la historia de la ciudad.

This paper presents some of the results from the research project “The Sketches and the Design Process in Architecture” that was developed by the authors in 2004. The architectural sketch is seen as a fundamental artefact in the design process which is also capable of revealing some significant aspects of the context in which it was made. The research was based on the investigation of the ways in which architects see their own production of sketches in terms of influences, procedures, phases of elaboration, meanings, etc. The fundamental aim of the study was to contribute to architectural education by providing systematised information and interpretation of the production of sketches by a set of selected architects. The analysis also aimed to produce an interpretation of the role of the preliminary drawings and their influence on the designing of architectural solutions. The analysis of these elements also led to an interesting diversity of interpretations of the role of the sketch in architectural design.

This inaugural issue of Footprint aims at understanding today’s architecture culture as a negotiation between two antithetical definitions of architecture’s identity. The belief in the disciplinary singularity of architectural objects, irreducible to the conditions of their production, is confronted - in discourse and design - with the perception of architecture as an interdisciplinary mediation between multiple political, economic, social, technological and cultural factors. With the concept of trans-disciplinarity, the negotiation between these two positions is investigated here as an engine of the ‘tradition of the present’ of contemporary architecture - the discourses and designs which emerged in the 1960s and defined orientation points for today’s architectural thought and practice.
