ALVAREZ LARRAIN, Alina. We are in the world...beings, materiality and landscapes. Zaranda ideas [online]. 2012, vol.8, n.1, pp.09-30. ISSN 1853-1296.

This work is a theoretical exercise which has as its objective to reflect on certain concepts related to the archaeology of landscapes and architecture. The importance of practical experience in our activities as beings set in a material world has led us to rethink the question of space and our criteria at the time of its study. We then propose from a Dwelling Perspective a vision of landscape as a network of relationships between places anchoring the past in the environment, with architecture as an element that shapes this landscape and as an expression of a cultural attitude toward the same landscape. The concepts raised here allow us to think in other terms concerning the architectural evidence from Andalhuala, Valley of Yocavil, and questions the dominant abstract and universal reason perspective (emphasized by the sciences), that deals with the living worlds of different peoples as "world visions" that overlap "true" reality with that of "nature".
