The present work aims to discuss the urban dimension of architecture and to investigate the role of the architectural spaces in the quality of life in between buildings and their environments. It investigates the transitional spaces between building and thoroughfare; building, thoroughfare and built environments located on the ground level of the buildings, and the potential they have to modify (individually or in groups) the environment where they are. For that, the research studies aspects of the architecture that urban buildings (individually or in groups) have and the inference of the morphology, building type and urban environment quality within the extended context of the Brazilian contemporary city. The analysis of the relation between building, thoroughfare and adjacent surroundings will be performed by the lights of, the evolution they have suffered since European urban spatial interventions that took place in the 19th Century; the morphological rupture on the traditional modern city of the 20th Century; the Brazilian experience focused on edifices, by showing analysis of a group of buildings, in their majority, iconic examples of Brazilian architecture from the 1930s onwards; and finally by an extensive investigation on the micro areas that have been selected in the Camburi region, in the city of Vitória-ES, focused on the characteristics of their architectural complex. As a preliminary conclusion, it can be stated that architecture cannot determine the quality in urban life and in its environments by itself, but because of its architectural and urban configuration of space, it may contribute to quality of environment in its surroundings

O estabelecimento de uma cultura de consumo, disseminada globalmente nos últimos anos, teve como consequência a crescente preocupação das pessoas com o impacto dos níveis de consumo sobre o ambiente e seu bem-estar pessoal. Nesse contexto, surge a Agricultura Urbana (AU) associada a diversos benefícios ambientais, sociais e relativos à saúde ( SLATER, 2001). O propósito do estudo foi compreender o significado da AU como fenômeno de consumo, identificando as distintas teorias que estão vinculadas a ela, bem como suas inter-relações. Desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa qualitativa com entrevistas em profundidade. Os entrevistados são especialistas em agricultura urbana e praticantes da atividade, residentes em nove bairros da área urbana de uma grande capital brasileira. Com base nos resultados, percebe-se dupla motivação para a prática da AU: uma extrínseca (o exemplo) e outra intrínseca (o bem-estar). Há vinculação da prática da AU com (a) a preocupação com o meio ambiente, a saúde e o bem-estar próprio e dos demais e (b) com o respeito e orgulho nostálgico por uma herança cultural.
