(in) Formality

By Diana Turcios

Informality can be seen from various points, such as appearance, order, improvisation and legal, among others. When referring to the fact that "order", we emphasize the things that make the place have no reason to be, were placed by simply do not have a logical place, for example in our study site we can find fact location of billboards, the utility poles, and wiring in general, as well as ownership of the sidewalk, where cafes and a sort of cellar have been placed regardless of the pedestrian flow interruption, which turns the place into a space that has an order, we see a mix of everything, a collage of elements that overwhelm the facade of the place. The formality for me is conceived by the order of things, knowing that if an element is in a given space is because it fulfills a specific function, but will the billboard, the hold impromptu sidewalk, cafes, are essential in place and without them can not be conceived its core functionality? This is how we see how the formal elements have been used orintended informal space, making space a "chaos" and rejection.
