Spine emerges from the experience of walking through the marginal neighborhoods of Medellín and from the analysis of documentation concerning the access routes that shape their public space. In this context, the main stairways and the smaller staircases built by residents to reach their homes are essential. The work Spine focuses on the articulation of these two constructive schemes and on how their convergence reflects a conception of public space that simultaneously responds to both individual and collective needs.
