Abstract
Two founders of Fábrica de Paisaje, Marcos Castaings and Diego Pérez, describe their vision of landscape and territorial ordinance in this interview. For them, landscape is the connective tissue of the territory and fiction is a way of understanding reality and operating in it. A new landscape only exists if a story gives meaning to it, if a narrative construction is capable of inducing reactions and meta-stories.
Fábrica de Paisaje proposes an alternative methodology, based on the displacing of the work objective from the construction of concrete products to the generation of unfinished fictions that build projects along time.
The interview revises the foundations of some projects of Fábrica de Paisaje, such as Parque Artigas (Las Piedras) and Costa de Oro (Canelones). Those who are interviewed reflect on the image and give a critical view of traditional participation methodologies.
