At the height of the an eye level: approximations on Gal. Jardim street

Abstract

The interdisciplinarity addressed in the research is a consequence of an initial and latent desire to study architecture in dialogue with other disciplines, other looks. The General Jardim street, in this approach, is a laboratory of the city, a small part of the urban life of São Paulo that shows itself at the same time limited in its cut, but broad in its potentiality. This research seeks, from the reading of several authors that studied or study the public space and the relationships within it, to discover, in the sense of evidencing, signifcant aspects of a small portion of public space in. The possibility of thinking of cities no longer as constructed objects, but as a complex feld, marked by conficts and several layers of meanings and exchanges, makes their study less and less restricted, evidencing the need to observe multiple disciplines or multiple approaches to get closer to an understanding of space.
