Ruptura: ensaios projetuais para um espaço interrompido

Abstract

The present paper was based on personal experiences, criticisms and reflections on the political and city-forming role of the architect and urban planner. The design and imaginative exercise was a tool, as well as collages and visual experiments, to reflect on the ideas contained in the theoretical scope of the text. The work is divided into 4 main acts, the first being a theme introduction, addressing the focus and personal approach to the area, discursive contributions and motivations for the work. The second act is the presentation of the themes of analysis of the essays, namely mobility, housing and identity. The third and fourth sections cover the design tests created on the study area, a viaduct that cuts through the Tambauzinho neighborhood, in João Pessoa - PB. Renderings, collages, sketches and generation of alternatives with artificial intelligence prompts were used as graphic tools for project expression. Such essays address main themes of utopia, dystopia and heterotopias. The main objective of this paper iis to use the scenarios generated as a form of reflection on the real estate market, the political role of the urban architect and, mainly, on the directions that Brazilian cities have taken towards the future
