[:nl]Spaces in Migration is the topic of the Los Andes University magazine Dearq.  Camila Pinzón URBANOS and Juanita Fonseca are guest editors of this magazine.  The Call for papers is open until June 30, 2020.

Human migrations have always existed: nomads, labor mobility, forced displacement, mass migration, are some of its forms. These flows affect the way in which territories are shaped and experienced. To migrate is to inhabit a space rooted in mechanisms of temporality and resourcefulness. Furthermore, migratory flows influence the space that is left behind, the space of transit, and the space of arrival; generating spaces moving between multiple scales.

The complex processes embedded in these movements raise challenges for architecture and urbanism in the spaces where migration occurs, the land left behind, the exchange along the way, and connection or accessibility to a place to settle. Places left behind give way to situations such as territories of ungoverned landscapes, or housing developments financed by remittances. Transition spaces or borders become tangible in different ways – in the form of walls, customs and ports, or the extension of cultural features such as architectural typologies. The spaces where migrants arrive acquire new meaning; for instance, refugee camps have allowed to explore innovative ephemeral architecture, and their consolidation in the emergence of spontaneous cities. On a larger scale, the environmental dimension questions the scope of the impact of formal and informal settlements and the consequences of natural disasters.

Here we mention only a few of the many issues posed by human migration, its challenges, and opportunities on different levels. Today, migration plays a crucial role in our development. In Colombia, the internal displacements and Venezuelan immigration, and globally, the “paralysis” caused by coronavirus manifest its relevance. In the “space that moves” global orders govern the local ones. This is a topic where architecture and urbanism connect with the impact of political and economic decisions and environmental effects.

For this edition Spaces in Migration of Dearq, we welcome research projects that explore the multiplicity of the spatial dimensions of migration. We are interested in research, theoretical reflections, mappings, case studies, and other work dealing with the interrelation between migration and architecture, urbanism, and landscape.

Reception of articles: April 30th to June 30th, 2020.[:es]Espacios en la Migración es el tema de la revista de la Universidad de Los Andes Dearq. Camila Pinzón URBANOS y Juanita Fonseca son editores invitados de esta revista. La convocatoria de trabajos está abierta hasta el 30 de junio de 2020.

Las migraciones poblacionales siempre han estado presentes de distintas formas: nómadas, movilidad laboral, desplazamiento forzado, migración masiva, entre otros modos. Estos movimientos afectan la manera cómo se forma y se percibe el territorio. Es una forma de habitar que dispone de mecanismos atados a la temporalidad y la recursividad. Los flujos migratorios inciden sobre el espacio de donde se sale, por donde se transita y a donde se llega; suscitan espacios que se mueven en diferentes escalas.

Las complejidades inmersas en los procesos migratorios plantean desafíos a la arquitectura y al urbanismo en cuanto a los espacios en que la migración sucede, ya sean derelictos, de intercambio, de conectividad o desconexión, de accesibilidad, etc. Los espacios que se dejan presentan situaciones como los territorios vacíos que promueven paisajes sin gobierno o el auge en la construcción de vivienda por medio de recursos de envío de remesas. Los espacios de transición o fronteras se vuelven tangibles en diferentes dimensiones, se presentan en formas de muro, de equipamiento aduanero o territorios extendidos bajo una influencia cultural reflejada en tipologías arquitectónicas. Los espacios a donde se llega o refugios, adquieren nuevos significados, su manufactura ha sido una exploración en ámbitos de innovación de arquitectura efímera y su consolidación formaliza la aparición de ciudades espontáneas. A escala mayor, la dimensión ambiental pone en cuestionamiento el alcance del impacto de los asentamientos formales e informales y consecuencias en el caso de los desastres naturales.

Aquí solo se enuncian algunas de las cuestiones que plantean las migraciones poblacionales, sus desafíos y oportunidades en todas sus escalas. La migración es, hoy en día, un factor crucial en nuestro desarrollo. En Colombia los desplazamientos internos y la migración venezolana, y en el mundo la “paralización” provocada por el coronavirus, son evidencia de su relevancia. En el “espacio que se mueve” se evidencian los órdenes globales sobre lo local, es una temática en donde la arquitectura y el urbanismo se conectan con la incidencia de decisiones políticas, económicas y efectos ambientales.

Para este número de Dearq invitamos trabajos de investigación que exploren la dimensión espacial de las migraciones en toda su multiplicidad. Estamos interesadas en investigaciones, reflexiones teóricas, mapeos, estudios de casos, entre otros, acerca de la injerencia de las migraciones en lo arquitectónico, el urbanismo y el paisaje.
