Abstract

This Work Plan for an IC, graduating in Architecture and Urbanism, is linked to question 1.1.2, presented in the thematic project ARQUIGRAPHY Experience 4.0, and thus specifically collaborates with the activities planned on the fronts: 3.2 Sensitive experiences in cities; 3.3 Design-constructive experimentation and 3.5 Critical analysis and scientific-technological improvement. This research project will be dedicated to an architecture mapping plan based on photographic images produced by students who are members of black and/or quilombola collectives, emphasizing their way of building and knowledge, since much of what is known about Such architecture is based on a stereotyped and limited imaginary, often making the close and relational perspective of these groups invisible. Therefore, the sharing network established through contact through Arquiografia's various social media, will result, based on records from student partners, in a field of dialogue internal and external to the platform, between interested parties and, mainly, between the black communities represented at the throughout the project.
