Resumo

Cinco contos que ocorreram durante o desenvolvimento de diferentes intervenções urbanas, também conhecidos como projetos participativos para a criação de espaços públicos compartilhados, iniciados pelo ateliê de nómadas urbanos, serão descritos neste artigo. Cada um dos cinco projetos compartilha a intenção de ser catalisador para a transformação social e espacial de espaços urbanos negligenciados, com o objetivo de melhorar a qualidade de vida dos habitantes desses territórios, proporcionando modos alternativos de interação social que diferem da proliferação de plataformas de redes sociais que permitem apenas a interação numa realidade paralela com configurações espaciais ambíguas. Cada história ilustra uma abordagem diferente do tempo no desenvolvimento ou entrega das intervenções - tornando-se o tempo um elemento central para a compreensão das intenções e resultados das próprias intervenções urbanas. Juntas, todas as histórias pretendem desafiar o paradigma omnipresente conferido aos projetos participativos como supostos meios de exercer valores democráticos e de promover uma maneira mais justa de criar nosso ambiente construído. As diferentes histórias examinarão algumas das complexidades enraizadas em intervenções dessa natureza: participativas e situadas na intersecção entre arte, ativismo e espaço urbano.

Biografia do Autor

Luísa Alpalhão, The Bartlett, University College of London

Luísa Alpalhão is a London and Lisbon based architect & artist and founding member of the architecture, art & design platform atelier urban nomads. Her work focuses on bringing together different creative fields through projects where cities are perceived as playing grounds to create new shared spaces that allow us to read and experience the city as collective social and spatial constructions.

 

Her projects, developed with the atelier, follow a holistic design process that emphasizes the importance of building a collective and site-specific spatial narrative through storytelling. 

 

Luísa is currently doing a PhD at the Bartlett, University College of London, with a scholarship from Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia. Her research consists on the development of a methodology for the making of participatory projects in order for it to potentially become a pedagogical tool for the inhabitation and understanding of urban shared spaces. Each step of the process leads to the documentation of a site adopting the ethnographers’ eye; to the making of objects, stories and interventions that reflect the character of the place and of its people bringing together people of all ages and cultural backgrounds.

 

Luísa is also a lecturer in Interior Design at the University of East London.
