One of them, the capital of Paraíba, experienced the expansion of its urban fabric when the public authorities invested in successive interventions, expressed in the creation of new road axes and new residential areas aimed at the modernization of the city. The urban improvements were accompanied by changes in the production of architecture, which gradually began to reflect the aspirations, especially of the upper-middle class, to live in healthy, hygienic dwellings adapted to the premises of modern life. It was in this context that the bungalow spread within the residential sphere of the capital, concentrating mainly in its expansion area and surroundings. With a simple and compact floor plan, the bungalow was consolidated as a modern and accessible housing alternative, characterized by formal and ornamental elements that contributed to the formation of a new urban landscape. With the implementation of public housing policies, the typology was used as an instrument to enable home ownership for different social classes. At the state level, between the 1930s and 1940s, the Montepio dos Funcionários Públicos facilitated for its policyholders the financing for the acquisition of housing, whether of upper-middle or popular standard, predominantly adopting the bungalow typology. In the 1950s and early 1960s, the bungalow became the preferred model among the dwellings financed, individually or as housing complexes, by the Institutes of Retirement and Pensions, linked to the federal sphere. The objective of this dissertation is to record the protagonism of the bungalow in the urban landscape of João Pessoa, understanding the relationship between the city that was expanding and modernizing, the architecture that was being produced, and the different ways of living promoted by it. For this purpose, the work makes an incursion into the trajectory of the typology from its emergence to its diffusion in the capital of Paraíba, highlighting the relationship between the expansion of the city and its occupation with the bungalow, both through private initiative, from individual investments, and through government financing. Through the identification and mapping of still existing examples of the typology, a panoramic analysis of its production is first carried out. Then, fifteen residential units, built either by private initiative or through financing, are studied in detail. Based on preestablished criteria, the analysis of the two categories generates a synthesis chart that points out the convergences and/or divergences found in the sample. Despite its relevance in the (trans)formation of the residential landscape of the capital of Paraíba in the mid-twentieth century, the bungalow is not officially recognized as heritage of historical and cultural interest, remaining at the mercy of interventions that not only disfigure it but also ruin and destroy it. The importance of this work lies in the urgency of deepening the study of the typology, while it is still possible to record its presence in the landscape of the city of João Pessoa, and above all to attribute to it the protagonism it deserves within the urban, architectural and social perspective of the period of its production.

These buildings, as historical witnesses, manifest as phantom façades -vestiges of continuities and ruptures that haunt the city. This research investigates eclecticism in the architecture of João Pessoa, capitalof Paraíba, from the late 19th century through the first half of the 20th century. In this period of urban modernization, this architectural language, based on compositionalfreedom and stylistic polyphony, materialized the republican ideology, encompassing more than a thousand identified examples. Despite its relevance, local eclecticism receives only briefand superficial mentions in the literature, being recurrentlyglimpsed through a single analytical lens. In addition to the scarcity of documents, there is a visible process of neglect that jeopardizes the physical integrity of this built heritage.This dissertation's primary objective is to conduct a historical-morphological reading of this eclecticism. The study focuses specifically on buildings situated within and adjacent to the city's original nucleus during the aforementioned research time frame. By (re)constructing the formal trajectory of this language, it aims to (re)examine its reception and varied forms of representation in the city. To that end, this dissertation records a 'living heritage'-consisting of 914 examples-and reconstitutes a 'dead heritage'-with 246-, totalling a sample of 1160 buildings. Mapping this language helped decode its urban dispersion as well as understand its nexus to urban dynamics. Analytical attributes were applied to systematize the examples according to morphological parameters, with an emphasis on surfaces and volumes. This analytical effort contributed to evaluate the local eclectic architectural practice in lightof the historicalfactors that conditioned its manifestation, reception, and diffusion. Results indicate that eclecticism was mostly spread through the oldest areas and extended significantly through the expansion sectors, where it assumed a structuring role. Morphologically, it was found that the language is expressed in three distinct phases. In the first phase, continuities with the colonial and imperial modus aedificandi are revealed, frequently manifesting as 'makeup'applied over preexisting buildings in the initial nucleus. In the second phase, the language acquires systemic contours driven by the economic prosperity of the cotton trade; it spreads through the expansion sectors of the city, diffuses among higher social strata, and experiences greater constructive freedom with the introduction of frontal lot setbacks. A more assertive historicist rupture with the colonial tradition is then consolidated, enabling formal experimentations that consummate the modernizing project. In the third phase, a conceptual departure from eclectic canons occurs, incorporating a tendency toward ornamental depuration that would anticipate modernism. It is concluded that eclecticism manifests itself in João Pessoa as an expanded field of compositional freedom, marked by personalized interpretations of consecrated repertoires that confer visual appeal to buildings and endow the city with an inventive practice aligned with the modernizing desires of republican society.

Public toilets are urban amenities for collective use, serving as catalysts for sustainable, accessible, and equitable cities. Characteristics of the urban form have been linked to promoting or hindering urban vitality. This study investigates the hypothesis that, although they provide adequate coverage for walkability along Recife’s waterfront, public toilets have diverse urban surroundings that impact urban vitality and toilet usage. On the other hand, it investigates the hypothesis that the toilets themselves contribute to the use of public space by diverse groups, while also examining users’ perceptions. Urban vitality was examined in terms of the mix of social groups, diverse neighborhoods, and the intensity of pedestrian flows. The study analyzed road network configurations by selecting four case studies to investigate the surrounding environment—land use, building density, and interfaces—and urban vitality, using questionnaires and behavioral and traffic flow mapping. Results revealed an asymmetrical distribution of street public toilets in Recife, concentrated along the waterfront (83.33%), mostly serving walkable distances (500 m). More spatially integrated surroundings had more passersby; however, the highest usage of the toilets was in the surrounding area, which, despite low overall integration, has more non-residential addresses and more interfaces with access and visibility (in Brasília Teimosa). Generally, toilets users came from farther away and stayed longer on the beach than those who do not usually use the toilets. Cleanliness and dirt were central concerns in users’ minds, but many pointed to insufficient capacity as the main area for improvement. The findings regarding the relationships between urban form and uses contribute to the urban planning of public toilets and the management of this infrastructure.

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.
