CARVAJALINO-BAYONA, Hernando. Architecture in neighborhoods: meeting points between academia and popular knowledge. Rev. Arquit. [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.2, pp.112-125. ISSN 1657-0308.  https://doi.org/10.14718/revarq.2019.21.2.2301.

Involving academia in peripheral urban contexts, in addition to bringing students closer to real problems in our cities, also allows for the creation of new participatory methodological proposals that establish more horizontal relationships between academic and popular knowledge, with respect to the common goal of improving working-class neighborhoods. This article presents the theoretical arguments, pedagogical proposal, and the results obtained in the Architecture Program of the Design School of the Catholic University of Colombia (Bogota) with respect to an intervention in peripheral settlements. The intro-duction includes an initial critical posture and the development of some key concepts that support the methodological proposal, its implementation, and results in a close relationship with community leaders. Finally, the article proposes a discussion and some conclusions regarding the progress of the case study, with the aim of projecting this process with new academic dynamics in these informal neighborhoods.
