[email protected]. Political space: an opportunity within the Lima food system Santiago A. Dammert Fall 2012 Table of Contents Contention & Abstract Lima, Peru APEGA & Mistura The Food System Precedents Bibliography Contention “I propose a more complex project composed of hybrid pro- grams that reflect a deeper analysis of the site and its relations to the city and its food system, as well as programmatic inter- faces that result in interactions between the different users to be located there, without compromising the market’s need for efficient transactions. An other important factor is time. Since market activities tend to take place at different times than more generic office hours within which most people work, it is im- portant to design program with time slots in mind, generating not only spatial interfaces but chronographic interfaces” Abstract The market of La Parada was until recently the largest wholesale vegetable market in the city of Lima, Peru.
