It uses the Rogelio Salmona Latin American Architecture Prize and the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize as empirical objects. Every field, defined by Bourdieu (1989 [2003]) as structured spaces that support competition and accumulation of capital, possesses its own rules of negotiation and transaction, limits and restrictions, presenting a general economy of practices in which power is contested to produce value. The contemporary scenario, marked by consumption and the need for constant renewal of taste, adds new challenges to the means for moving symbolic capital in the architectural field, such as magazines, biennials, exhibitions, internet, and awards, instruments of distinction for the representation of architectural practice in Latin America. In this context, awards are characterized by the objective of synthesizing the universe considered in a single work, constituting particular questions for the conversion and expansion of symbolic capital within the context of the competition. The similarities and differences present in the selection mechanisms, agents, and results of the two awards studied here make them exemplary in reproducing dynamics common to awards, but positioned from their specific context and particularized in an attempt to amplify their capacity to confer prestige.; RESUMEN. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo investigar los premios de arquitectura contemporánea en Latinoamérica, a partir de las teorías del capital y el poder simbólico de Pierre Bourdieu. Se utilizan el Premio Latinoamericano de Arquitectura Rogelio Salmona y el Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize como objetos de estudio. Todo campo, definido por Bourdieu (1989 [2003]) como espacios estructurados que sustentan la competencia y la acumulación de capital, posee sus propias reglas de negociación y transacción, limites y restricciones, presentando una economía general de prácticas en la que el poder se disputa para producir valor. El escenario contemporáneo, marcado por el consumo y la necesidad de una constante renovación del gusto, plantea nuevos retos a las herramientas para la movilización del capital simbólico en el ámbito arquitectónico, tales como revistas, bienales, exposiciones, herramientas de internet y premios, instrumentos de distinción para la representación de la práctica arquitectónica en Latinoamérica. En este contexto, los premios se caracterizan por el objetivo de sintetizar el universo considerado en una sola obra, lo que plantea interrogantes particulares para la conversión y expansión del capital simbólico en el marco del concurso. Las similitudes y diferencias presentes en los mecanismos de selección, los agentes y los resultados de los dos premios estudiados aquí los convierten en ejemplos paradigmáticos de la reproducción de dinámicas comunes a los premios, pero situadas desde su contexto específico y particularizadas en un intento de amplificar su capacidad para conferir prestigio.

The fastest growth in the elderly population is expected to occur in less developed countries—a trend reflected in Brazil’s demographic landscape. As a result, governments, the World Health Organization, and the United Nations have been working to promote strategies that support quality of life through public policies aimed at encouraging healthy aging. Architecture and urban planning, which are responsible for the design of spaces, join in a multidisciplinary manner with other fields of knowledge, contributing to the well-being of the elderly. This population, in the face of physiological changes and the functional decline intrinsic to aging, interacts in a particular way with their environments—especially residential ones—because these involve both physical and subjective aspects related to people and their surroundings.This thesis aims to reflect on residential environments for the elderly, guided by the Ageing in Place approach through a methodological framework in the form of a set of tools suited for contextual assessment and guidance in planning housing for old age. This framework is grounded in understanding the relationships between older adults and their homes, using the proposed methodology and incorporating affective listening. Both objective and subjective aspects were explored and analyzed regarding emotional relationships, place attachment, and perceptions of urban and private living environments. A literature review and bibliographic research were conducted to build the conceptual foundation, followed by data collection to better understand current realities. The city of João Pessoa, in the state of Paraíba (PB), was chosen as the area for a qualitative exploratory research, focusing on a group of elderly participants in the extension project Oficina Casa Afetiva (Affective Home Workshop), enrolled at the Paraíba Institute on Aging (Instituto Paraibano de Envelhecimento) at UFPB. This group participated in interactive workshops where tools such as a visual selection, participatory mapping, mental maps, cube-house modeling, wish poems, photographic surveys, affective listening, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews were used. Through the analysis and discussion of the tools applied during the various proposed moments with this heterogeneous group, it was found that all tools had both strengths and limitations and complemented one another. A methodological framework was proposed, comprising a set of tools — CASA A(fe)TIVA, based on the results obtained from the sample group. Despite the diversity of family arrangements and the presence of conflicting emotions, participants revealed strong emotional bonds and attachments to their living spaces, shaped by lived memories and the ambiance of their homes. These emotional ties often outweighed physical factors such as accessibility and adaptability, which were ultimately constrained by economic and financial considerations—key determinants in the feasibility of ageing in place. This directly impacts quality of life, emotional and physical well-being, comfort, safety, autonomy, and the overall well-being of older individuals, influencing planning and decision-making related to housing in old age. Further research is recommended to validate the proposed set of tools.

This structuring triad has intensified the processes of inequality and socio-spatial segregation in various urban formations within the context of capitalist urbanization. Considering the reality of medium-sized Brazilian cities, this thesis analyzes the production of the Urban Expansion and Real Estate Valorization Sector (SEUVI), located in the city of Mossoró, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, throughout the 21st century. Situated in the northwestern portion of the municipality, this new expansion front concentrates the implementation of gated residential spaces, tertiary-sector establishments, and private institutions aimed at upper social strata. This research questions the relationships established between the interests of economic agents and the actions of the municipal government in structuring this new urban expansion area, seeking to understand how the production of built space reinforces the process of socio-spatial segregation in Mossoró. The thesis argues that the city’s urban structure has undergone a profound redefinition resulting from the pact between public and private agents, whose actions have shaped a planned urban enclave as an expression of a political-economic project for the (re)production of socio-spatial segregation. The planning of a new location within Mossoró’s intra-urban space, linked to the production of new urban habitats and private collective consumption spaces, reveals, on the one hand, the segregationist logic guiding the urbanization of this sector, and, on the other, the profitable nature of real estate valorization as a vector of capitalist accumulation, mediated by state action. Thus, the research aims to understand the production process of the SEUVI, highlighting the strategies of the agents involved and the nature of the real estate developments implemented, especially concerning land structure transformation and property valorization. Methodologically, the study was developed in four stages: i) bibliographical research on the themes and concepts addressed; ii) documentary survey at the Mossoró Sixth Notary Office, in municipal cartographic databases (2006, 2012, 2017, and 2023), and in the Conceptual Master Plan – Zoning (2019), as well as consultation of websites of developers and construction companies, internal regulations of gated residential spaces, and data from IBGE and SIGEF; iii) fieldwork, including interviews with residents and real estate promoters, aerial captures by drone, and photographic records in loco (2023 and 2025); and iv) data systematization and analysis through maps, charts, and tables. These elements enabled the analysis of the sector’s production process and, consequently, the confirmation of the stated thesis. It is argued that, from the mid-2000s onward, a profound transformation began in the urban structure of Mossoró, driven by a modernist-oriented urban plan and aligned with land and real estate interests. This coalition between Market and State consolidated itself as a project of land and real estate valorization, sustained by the selective and unequal production of urban space, deepening socio-spatial inequalities and steering the city’s recent expansion toward an exclusionary and segregating territorial model.

It aims to understand the relationship between the physical aspects of space and the occurrence of discriminatory acts, based on the characterization of areas with the highest density of mapped hate crimes. To this end, it adopts a qualitative-quantitative approach, proposing density estimation interpolation (kernel heatmap) as the central method, combined with the use of urban, road, and architectural models for analyzing urban form and dynamics. Spatial data geoprocessing and phenomenological investigations are used as auxiliary techniques, linking their use to the spatialization of Police Investigations (IPs) and Detailed Incident Reports (TCOs) from 2019 to 2023, employed as comparative variables to the survey of hate crimes via a public questionnaire. As a result, a dataset was produced that systematizes the patterns of hate violence in João Pessoa, highlighting the most critical areas in terms of the concentration of the phenomenon, spatialization trends based on typologies, and the underreporting of cases by institutional channels. A mapping of leisure and socialization spaces was also produced, highlighting the relationship between the sale of alcoholic beverages and violence, as well as the characterization of physical conditions in six areas of the city.
