Temporalidad en arquitectura: una cuestión de ritmo. Parque Prado Centro, Medellín, Colombia

This article explores the temporal dimension of architecture by examining the apparent contradiction between the ephemeral and the permanent. It considers rhythm as the fundamental structure through which time is expressed: matter carries its own intrinsic rhythm, and architecture proposes a rhythm through which life is lived. If our understanding of duration shifts depending on the frame of reference, then perhaps all architecture is, at its core, temporal. These reflections are grounded in a case study that is particularly resonant in terms of its construction, occupation, and interpretation of the life cycle: Parque Prado Centro in Medellín, Colombia.
