The Museum of the Void

Reflexão sobre as possbilidades de significação e intervenção sobre os enormes espaços vazios gerados pela desactivção de sistemas de silagem de cereais. O potencial programático que o próprio espaço vazio pode, em si, encerrar, é ponto de partida para considerações arquitectónicas, onde se convoca também o valor da proposta projectual como instrumento de ensaio.Trata-se de um texto que integra o catálogo da Exposição homónima, a partir de exploração projectual em domínio académico avançado (Mestrado Integrado).

A cidade contemporânea à luz do cinema: o virtual e a transformação do espaço urbano

A compreensão da realidade imaginária do cinema e sua ligação com a arquitetura e urbanismo, vão além de representações cenográficas meramente ilustrativas. Mais do que perceber a distinção entre real e imaginário, é necessário entender a relação entre essas duas dimensões, tanto do ponto de vista histórico, como daquele propositivo, do pensar e refletir sobre projeto da cidade contemporânea. Arrisca-se em pensar em uma unidade complexa complementar se tomarmos as tangências históricas e estéticas que permeiam essa relação. Através da análise do espaço apresentado pela indústria cinematográfica a partir dos anos ’80, é possível delinear algumas hipóteses de como se pode indagar sobre o projeto da cidade contemporânea, diante das grandes transformações porque passaram o espaço urbano, a identidade dos lugares, da memória, enfim da cidade através de imagens, tecnologia e dinâmicas de rede e geografias descontínuas. Essa condição pode ser notada, mais especificamente, a partir de três filmes, utilizados neste trabalho como suporte de reflexão: do caos e sobreposição de extratos de alta densidade de peter greenaway, típicos da cidade como palimpsesto da cidade contemporânea, do vazio perturbador de lars von trier na morte do espaço público anunciado por richard sennet, ao o espaço labiríntico de christopher nolan a partir das geografias descontinuas das cidades em redes. A imagem como fator inevitável na sociedade contemporânea enlaça, cada vez mais profundamente, a relação entre arquitetura e cinema juntamente com as técnicas construtivas, a tecnologia e as relações humanas que transformam a forma de habitar as grandes metrópoles

O vazio da união das culturas nipo-brasileira: projeto no bairro da Liberdade-SP

The work aims at an architectural project in the neighborhood of Liberdade in Sao Paulo, from analysis of the spread of Japanese culture in Brazil. Within this theme, the paper focuses on the Japanese urban space and the search for an identity of the Japanese, besides the problems that the neighborhood has. The architectural design is justified by the need for spaces of rest, meetings and green areas, where people can get away a bit of pace that the neighborhood has. The source of this research is based on bibliographic references, reviews of other projects, investigating the experience of urban space and the richest source of contributions that were the memories of living in Japan for eight months. The expected result is the visualization of the project through sketches, experiments and artistic designs for the chosen location

Parque da Sanbra: requalificando um vazio urbano em Ourinhos

This work consists in analyzing an urban area of the city of Ourinhos. That site was located an old industry, the 40s, the Brazilian Northeast Algodoeira Society (Sanbra). Which was shut down and the existing buildings were demolished. With the demolition, was an area unused to city, and became an urban empty in the railway area of Ourinhos. The local study is an example of what happened in many Brazilian cities, where old factories were closed, making it useless to the city and also without identity with the urban space. Therefore, this project sought the potentialities and problematics of the area and its surroundings, for the purpose to get elements to create a quality space for the life of ourinhenses and give a new use to space

As inter-ações entre espaço do corpo e o movimento dançado

This dissertation seeks to reflect about the relations between danced movement and body space (Kinesphere), and their contributions to the expansion of the expressive possibilities of the subject on dancing. According to Rudolf Laban there is no space that is empty, because it is always being modified and signified at every moment by the movement. Space exists because we interact with it, at the same time movement occours configuring a signifcant space that is incessantly transformed. In this sense, space, body and movement appear in this research as interconnected and interdependent. For this discussion we have as main interlocutor the studies of Rudolf Laban. The nature of this research is qualitative and descriptive. This is a context that embraces the phenomenon of dance and as such it is based on a dimension that doesn't deal with mensurability, but with the art scene, fruitful in its infinite openness to the creation of multiple significances for what has been lived. We also propose to present a report about the practical study developed in the discipline Coreologia in the licentiate course of Dance in UFRN, as well as the analysis of the interviews applied to students of this curricular component. The questions were developed in a way that lead to a reflection about the experience of those interviewed in this discipline, thus generating material for us to discuss how the students perceive dance based on the relational study between space and movement. We realize that this study may favor an understanding of the relations that the experienced movement in the act of the dance weaves along the spatiality that receives and fills our bodies, resignifying the vision of a space which is restrict to the mere place were the body moves and occupies. It also favors the reflections concerning the body that moves and creates spatiality when dancing, thereby bringing to the Performing Arts a chance to think and to experience on the expansion of the expressive gesture in dance and beyond it, led by the recognition of the principles that organize human movement pointed by Laban. It also contributes on the formation of the students in licentiate courses of Dance by questioning the ways to appropriate the contents worked in a graduation discipline as regards to the availability of the body for dance. This dissertation is divided in three parts, called Impulsos. In the First Impulso: “Primeiros Gestos Textuais”, we find an introduction to concepts and ideas of body, movement and space that permeates all the work. In the Second Impulso: "Nós", the triad body-space-motion is discussed using the metaphorical image of a knot that binds these three concepts. The third and final Impulso: "Enlaces" deal with impressions and discoveries lived during the experimentation of the principles of inter-actions studied here, in the lessons of the already mentioned discipline

Vazios urbanos e a dinâmica imobiliária na produção do espaço em Natal

In Brazil, the discussion about the urban voids appear related to the capitalist urban expansion process, when the urban growth act the cities were expanding toward the periphery, leaving in the interstices vacant land, kept out of the market waiting for the real estate valuation. In Natal, the formation of voids was triggered by the process of fragmentation of space promoted mainly by the urban sprawl with the emergence of new neighborhoods, lots of openings, housing developments and the emergence of new lines of commercial centrality. In this sense, this study aims to understand the role played by urban voids in the real estate dynamics and the production process of the Natal city space. For this, it was adressed the concept building on the conception of different authors and were characterized four types of gaps that best explained the phenomenon in the context of the work proposal addressed, such as idle, empty expectant, empty-brownfield areas and institutional areas. For each of these events were considered an example in the general context of the city through semi-structured interviews with technicians, managers and public officials in promoting the city and /or related to management of urban voids.
