Fading the Boundary: Metropolitan Vision for Bogotá 2050 Part 2 Project 2020 Erick Santiago Ramirez Lenis Pilot University of Colombia Bogota | Colombia The Western Savannah of Bogota, Colombia, has a natural border defined by Bogota river the El Guali wetland, and although this natural border is increasingly threatened by urbanization, there is still a great variety endogenous fauna and flora that needs to be protected. Under this condition the river buffer zone has the possibility for being the axis for the forthcoming metropolization. Besides this, the urbanization process is redder by gated communities within a fragmented pattern that standardized the urban lifestyles. Therefore, the scope of this research and this project favours an alternative scenario of the inevitably overall conurbation by 2050, this ongoing process compromises both, the valuable ecosystems and the diversity of the urban life. To counter this process, this alternative vision defines the importance of a scope based on infrastructure that protects the ecosystems by clearly define its borders, and also are nodes of metropolitan infrastructure such as logistics centres, and at the same time nodes of urbanity. The purpose is via architecture materialises the forthcoming lifestyles in a variety of housing typologies overlap in this infrastructure nodes, and are at the same time the way for protecting the valuable ecosystems by clearly define the limits between the urban tissue and the wetlands.
