Abstract

The Arquiografia project aims to increase and optimize the dissemination and visualization of architectural images on the web. The project emerged in 2008 at the University of São Paulo, at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism. The platform brings together art, techniques and critical judgments about digital images. As it is a multidisciplinary project and counts on the collaboration of different areas for its construction, such as undergraduate students in Library Science and Information Science at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), we intend to aggregate making the information accessible to an audience each There is an increasing interest in the subject of architecture or just enjoying a good social network of beautiful photos, as Arquiografia is now also accessible as an Android application for smartphones. To this end, we intend to carry out different strategies to make the Arquiografia project increasingly known and accessible outside of its academic environment and gain space on the web such as Instagram and Tiktok social networks, focusing on the production of videos as media content to promote the project.
