00:00:00 - 00:05:00

This video discusses the difference between work and need, with a focus on a project in Bogota, Colombia. The goal of the project is to get people to use the space for their own enjoyment, rather than for fulfilling a need.

• 00:00:00 In this presentation, urban analyst Silvia Gamboa discusses the difference between work and need, focusing specifically on a project in Bogata, Colombia, which is located in the Plaza de Mercado, next to the Rosita avenue. The analysis looks at the various uses of the site, including commercial, residential, and institutional. There are also environmental, social, and vehicular conflicts to consider, as well as the fact that the use and activities permitted on the site are not always the same. The residents of the street use the space for sleeping at night and during the day, and the people in the plaza use it for eating and shopping. When there is an activity scheduled, such as an event, the regulation specifies that it should primarily be commercial and residential, but this is not always the case in reality. Rather, the establishments are used for activities that are not in line with their intended use, such as recreational use. The main goal of this intervention is to get people to use the space for their own enjoyment, rather than for fulfilling a need.
• 00:05:00 The Norms in Spaces Used for Work and Necessities Differs. Silvia Gamboa, a Lecturer at the University of Santiago de Chile, talks about how there is a difference between what people need to do and what they are forced to do. She explains that with her module, she wants to create a space that is both needed and desired, and that is monetarily unimportant but satisfies the needs of the people using it, like Sofia Luna, who needs a parking lot for her car repair business. She also talks about how her ideal project would be an unimportant space that is loved by the people, like a parking lot, and is desired by them.
