Since its launch in the fall of 2011 at Harvard, the SAP network has brought together over 131 participants from across the Americas, who are leading 23 collaborative projects in 11 countries, under the auspices of 43 public and private sponsors, SAP’s focus is to research and develop new spatial syntheses for alternative physical and experiential identities in South America’s heterogeneous hinterlands. By drawing together individuals who work in different disciplines from across the Americas, SAP combines diverse design methodologies that can create alternative models to not only visualize and evaluate the effects of fast-paced urbanization, but also to propose specific pilot projects for alternative models of urbanization in the region.
