THE BEGGINING OF T

​

The idea gene is born from the observation of two unrelated realities:

​

ONE.- In most of the architecture and public infrastructure projects to be carried out, participatory design is lacking; weakening their social sustainability, and I get the endurance of these projects.

From the users (citizens) there is the impetus for participation, but not the channels to make it effective and useful for the development of the project; and from the public authority, even when there is the will to implement participation, they lack the time and quantity of personnel to carry it out.

TWO.- In contrast, a large part of the projects developed in the architecture and construction schools are conceived only as an academic evaluation, just wasting the time investment and I get the opportunity to value them as possible solutions for a possible real user / need.

​

There is demand, there is supply, there is no link.

​

THE IDEA.- Promote - within the same instances of university learning - a change in learning methodologies. Link social entities, communities and citizen groups with verifiable architectural needs (registered from the municipalities and their respective SECPLA). Identify your problems and propose solutions, integrating participatory design, constructive knowledge, budget analysis and works management; thus promoting the construction of said solution.

This is how RADAR © was born, a project of dialogue, integration, and association between: schools of architecture, municipalities, different social groups and private entities to contribute to the construction of the city, education, and development.
