Abstract

The lack of a systemic notion in the design processes of the discipline, and precisely, the reductionism of the architectural projects in addition to isolated elements that build the minimal contextual relations, represents an obstacle that goes beyond the technical requirements and variables of the place, to the built up of the territory. Therefore the present paper seeks to introduce the systemic thinking as an alternative to the project processes in the discipline, within the framework of a transdisciplinary perspective, to overcome the concept of city and to initiate a discussion about territory; as it reflects on the role of the architect as a transforming agent: an interpreter of territorial reality.

Keywords:

territory , systemic complexity , design process , architecture , territorial interpreter
