JUAN NOREÑA
The urban landscape proposal that I have been developing in recent years is contrary to this
tradition, since it does not seek to show that civic pride, which postcards display in contemporary
times. It is intended to show the city apart from its official and commercial
speeches and visibilities, which show an image of a pristine and perfect city, to show a city
that is close, imperfect, more human and more real.
