“…Para la definición de paisaje existen diversos puntos de vista y construcciones históricas. Este trabajo se arma, desde la perspectiva de la ecología histórica (Balée, 2006;Crumley, 2007), donde el concepto es construido en un sentido operacional, "[los] paisajes son encuentros de personas y lugares cuyas historias están impresas en la materia, incluyendo materia viva" (Balée, 2008, p.11). Desde esta perspectiva, Balée (2008) defiende una indigeneidad asociada al diseño de los paisajes, en otras palabras, determinados paisajes son pruebas vivas y revelan técnicas específicas de diseño, vinculadas a las prácticas de vida indígenas.…”

The purpose of this article is to observe the spatial design practices of the Yawanawá indigenous population that inhabits the Rio Gregorio Indigenous Land, located in the Brazilian Amazon Forest. In collaboration with this community, the intention is to reflect on approaches that can enrich the research of their spatial knowledge, thereby contributing to the consolidation of Amerindian knowledge in the academic field of architecture and design. The participant observation methodology allowed an immersion into Yawanawá narratives that rescue their ancestral role in the architectural and landscape configuration of the territory. Through elaborating a photographic visual investigation, it is sought to expand voices and meanings in strata of coexisting times, articulating the images to the Amerindian architectural conceptions that survived colonial abuse. In the conclusions, the lessons that the Yawanawá express and manifest are highlighted when building spaces of resistance in a poetic, symbolic, and daily way where the urban power structures constructed and/or that cross their territory were and are re-signified to test other ways of living in the forest.

“…In this approach, the environment is conceptualized as a landscape, which is the outcome of the interaction of human activity, abiotic (or physico-chemical) factors, and biotic factors (e.g., flora, fauna, and fungi). Thus, humans are historical agents of change that produce a second nature, landscape palimpsests (manuscripts on which more successive texts have been written), which are the accumulation of humanly induced, as well as abiotically and biotically induced, change over thousands to tens of thousands of years (the longue dureé) (Crumley, 2022). Historical ecologists have demonstrated empirically that intermediate scale "disturbances" can result in changes in biota that persist over the longue dureé (Baleé, 2006).…”

The impact of ancient urban occupations on sustainability has recently become a topic of interest for archaeologists as well as many other scholars. Much of this archaeological research has focused on documenting the longevity of ancient cities and elucidating the social and economic strategies employed at the urban and regional scales to promote urban sustainability. In this article, we add to this discussion by addressing the issue of sustainability by considering the impact of environmental legacies left by ancient cities after their abandonment. Using a series of cases from pre-Hispanic Mesoamerica [OMYK (Coba), Kiuic, Lagunas de Yalahau, and Tlaxcallan], we show through ethnoecological and historical ecological research that in some cases pre-Hispanic people, living in urban zones, affected “intermediate” disturbances that increased biodiversity, biomass, and sustainability by creating second natures that have endured for centuries.
