| Abstract | |
This work develops a comparative study between Medellín and São Paulo, through a panorama of the recent production of architecture and urbanism (A&U) in these two cities. For this purpose, the projects were selected as they proposed interventions in the socio-spatial dynamics of the territory. In this sense, we search for a reflection that contributes to broadening the terms by which the discipline understands the material, social and conceptual universe with which it interacts. For this, the processes of metropolisation of the two cities and the projects that face this condition were analyzed. It was noted that A&U are faced with the need to recover an urban landscape that includes socio-spatial equity. This calls for the reconnection between urban planning and urban design and the reconciliation of infrastructure and territory, which involves recognizing the real urban matrix. We also analyzed projects that deal with socio-spatial segregation, looking at their capacity not to reproduce the destructuring, differentiation and distancing implicit in this process from the intervention lot. This proposal also draws reflections on the fragmentation of spaces and the functionalisation of everyday life. Because of the continual updating of our social debts, which worsens in globalized capitalism, this demands of A&U a position of resistance and reaction by counter-hegemonic impulses. This is necessary in the face of the disruptive processes that affect the production of urban (social) space. This proposition underscores A&U\'s sociourban dimension and regains the relevance of the discipline as a tool for critical thinking. (AU) | |
