Abstract
El giro económico que experimentaron muchas ciudades
tras el declive industrial hizo que transformaran su
actividad principal al sector servicios. Esto trajo consigo
nuevos desarrollos urbanos y recintos arquitectónicos con
los que dar respuesta al creciente auge del consumo,
haciendo que el proyecto arquitectónico se haya
convertido en el instrumento principal para generar
escenas emblemáticas con las que ‘seducir’ y provocar
nostalgia en el usuario. Se camuflan así las verdaderas
estrategias de orquestación del movimiento del público
como resultado de un minucioso estudio del
comportamiento humano.
El presente artículo pretende estudiar este fenómeno a
través del caso particular del centro comercial
ParqueAstur, en Asturias. Este edificio de arquitectura
“anónima” supuso un experimento de diseño ambiental
comercial, donde la evocación a través de la arquitectura
tradicional de sus pueblos y ciudades trasladan al
espectador hacia una época de infancia al tiempo que
provoca un sentimiento de nostalgia a un público que no
sólo está compuesto de niños, sino también de adultos en
busca de recuerdos del pasado.
After the industrial decline from the 1970s, many cities have experienced an economic shift, and made them transform their main activity to the service sector. This brought along new urban developments, and architectural venues, in order to respond to the growing boom in consumption but making the architectural project the main instrument for generating emblematic scenes with which to ‘seduce’ and provoke nostalgia in the user. In this way, the true orchestration strategies of the public movement are camouflaged as a result of a meticulous study of human behavior. This article aims to study this phenomenon through the particular case of the ParqueAstur shopping mall in Asturias, Spain. This building of “anonymous” architecture was an experiment in commercial environmental design, where the evocation through the traditional architecture of its towns and cities transports the viewer to a time of childhood, while causing a feeling of nostalgia in an audience that is not only made up of children, but also of adults looking for memories of the past.
