Eleventh International Conference on The Inclusive Museum

Abstract

In collaboration with the Urban Digital Platform of MACquinho at Niterói City Hall, the project emphasizes a critical urban reading that elects the city as a laboratory and field of digital experimentation. Localized experiences of changing public spaces from new architectural interventions of Green Walls and Indigenous Graphic Design in empty spaces of Morro do Palácio prioritizes the interpretation of reflexive exercise in critical self-assessment through microplanning prototypes. Digital architectural academics´ design also analyses typical constructions of indigenous cultures (“ocas” or longhouses), by focusing on the importance of bottom-up initiatives in urban landscape setting. The tactic of the project focuses on the survey of a CONCRETE SPACE / CONTEXT defined by hollow occupations - emptiness as spaces that form an urban waste beneath viaducts, alleys, elevated streets, pillars, sheds, and iron fences closing the space. It will cast its gaze along networks that represent instigating examples of how population spontaneously transforms, sometimes transgressively, and situating technical artifacts into active places for political-cultural participation and for playful-creative manifestations, with the creation of urban gardens. The proposal also prioritizes the public domain in specific scopes of urbanism as being composed of places where the exchange between different social groups becomes possible and where everyday life actually happens.
