Do arquipélago ao litoral: uma abordagem projetual para os limites

Abstract

The socio-spatial segregation is an essential dynamic of the contemporary capitalist city, which has in the walls, architectures of the limits, an instrument of legitimation of the fragmented city. And so, the urban place tends to be configured as an archipelago, a set of islands or urban patterns, which do not establish a relational link between them. Thus, this research intends to question the design approach that feeds the production and reproduction of this archipelago city. For this, the idea of the shore of psychoanalysis is transferred to the field of architecture and urbanism, as a way of rethinking the excesses of limits in the production of space. Thus, it is guiding the design efforts to the boundary, the relational field, which is expected to demobilize the destructive effect of the borders of the segregated city and produce, finally, a shore-city, with negotiable limits.
