Fisuras en la Percepción del Entorno Visual Urbano

This article deals with the subject of the perception of the urban landscape through the exploration and recording of certain ephemeral visual elements that appear in the city. With the support of some theoretical considerations and with certain photographic images of the author's production, the existence of a parallel city that coexists with what we usually perceive is evident. Based on the definitions of morphology and urban iconography, it is introduced in the understanding of the structure of the city and through sensory and perceptual registers, in how it becomes an imaginatively constructed form.The article emphasizes an instance of validity of cities that goes beyond the purely physical and formal, to the recognition of the intangible as a phenomenological element of the urban landscape.
