Abstract

Accelerating urbanization, which is often poorly planned, transforms the everyday elements of habitability, because it not only alters the natural order, but also imposes new ways to build the city and new uses of contemporary space, through the relationship established with concepts such as ephemeral, nomadic, mutations, hybridizations, urban niches and networks, creating a multitude of ways to occupy and inhabit the city. The contributions of this paper are the identification of factors that favoring impermanent actions that lead to conceptual changes in the urban landscape of Medellín, reading its previous urban landscapes in contrast with the current, dominant patterns of occupation, which have resulted in new living spaces. All this is achieved from the perceptual analysis of the urban landscape through the eyes of the common people who experience the room, draming, imagining and they are finally establishing new flows, movements and possibilities to inhabit, resulting in a city with intangible characteristics, which are often inconspicuous and constantly changing.
