Abstract

This Work Plan is specifically linked to question 1.1.3 presented in the thematic project Arquigrafia 4.0, and thus collaborates with the activities foreseen in the fronts: 3.1 Theoretical-conceptual training; 3.2 Sensitive experiences in cities, 3.3 Projective-constructive experimentation and 3.5 Critical analysis and scientific-technological improvement. This Scientific Initiation (IC) project will devote itself to investigating under a critical-methodological view the intense short-lived contemporary project practices that has begun at the École de Beaux-Arts in Paris in the 19th century, from which derives the "charrette" nomenclature - possibly derived from the students' habit of completing work at the last minute, in the carriages on the way to their presentations - and unfolds, since then, in collective design sessions that take the form of immersion workshops and hackathons, or marathons of computer programming.
