Understanding of the Informal City: Its Interruptions, and Generative Activations

By setting the context of this studio and of this paper it will allow the readers to understand not only the situation in which the architecture educators and practitioners had over the course of the studio, but will also emphasize and clarify how a pedagogical construct was able to be developed out of situational problems that occur with the students and how that would further guide and enrich the city and urban design research the studio performed and how it can have the potential contributions to the academe and the practice of architecture. This design studio was a 10-week summer urban studio that was a continuation from a semester-long seminar course taught in Lima, Peru in a collaborative setting between students from different architecture, planning, and real state programs from Peruvian universities, upper-level architecture, urban design, and planning students from American, English, Spanish, and Australian universities, and in collaboration with the city of Lima.
