La Valle del Mantaro, situata nel territorio andino e precedentemente strutturata dal sistema di infrastrutture e sentieri Inca (Qhapaq Ñan), ha sofferto una crescita urbana frammentata, un progressivo declino, un degrado ambientale e la perdita di una logica culturale-territoriale a seguito della colonizzazione. Questa tesi propone una nuova visione di trasformazione territoriale volta a riconnettere la valle alle dinamiche contemporanee: una rete rigenerativa di servizi che assume come base i principi ancestrali della pianificazione andina e li reinterpreta attraverso quadri teorici contemporanei. “Reweaving the Andean Landscape” emerge come uno strumento strategico capace di riorganizzare la valle in un sistema adattivo e sostenibile, con l’obiettivo di collegare gli elementi naturali del territorio alla vita comunitaria e agricola degli insediamenti isolati. Il sistema introdurrà nuovi nodi, connessioni e assi di servizio, integrando soluzioni contemporanee in armonia con il paesaggio naturale e culturale. La proposta mira a ispirare un nuovo paradigma urbano-rurale nelle Ande: decentralizzato, resiliente e profondamente radicato nella saggezza indigena, proiettato verso un futuro rigenerativo.

Abstract
The Mantaro Valley, located in the Andean territory and previously structured by Inka infrastructure and path system (Qhapaq ñan), has suffered from fragmented urban growth and degrowth, environmental degradation, and the loss of cultural-territorial logic after colonization. This thesis proposes a new vision for territorial transformation to reconnect the valley to the new dynamics: a regenerative network of services using as base the ancestral Andean planning principles and reinterpreted through contemporary frameworks. “Reweaving the Andean Landscape” emerges as a strategic tool that reorganizes the valley into an adaptive and sustainable system that looks forward to connect the natural valley elements to the communal and agricultural life of isolated settlements. The system will provide new nodes, connections and services axis, integrating contemporary solutions in harmony with the natural and cultural landscape. The proposal seeks to inspire a new urban-rural paradigm in the Andes: one that is decentralized, resilient, and deeply rooted in Indigenous wisdom while projecting a regenerative future.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
