Abstract

Over the last few years we have seen an increasingly participation of digital technologies in performing daily activities and an expandingly accessibility to information, thereby also increasing the number of possible choices. The cities, assisted by communication systems - informational and of people - are now dispersing their specialized cores, labor attraction poles , and strengthening their status as \"spaces of flow\" spaces in/of transformation and on/of displacement , enabling the production of differential urban space morphologies. The fluidity becomes synonymous with instability when the individuals, due to socioeconomic and cultural pressures, marked by movement, adapt their habits to increasingly flexible conditions on personal and professional levels, but also in their relationship with this space. New forms of urban appropriation, more individualized and ephemeralized, become typical in a society now marked by the movement and the speed in informational perception. Small itinerant social groups with common characteristics and behaviors, the so-called post-modern or global nomads, are guided primarily by professional demands of a worldwide economy, facilitated by the development of communication technologies. Revisited morphologies in the conception of city and building design, like the mobile spaces, turn possible by technological advance, but also with a sociocultural basis on these groups, creating original means of temporal apprehension and new forms of urban space appropriation that argue the limits that a highly mobilized society must overcome in order to exploit its temporal and spatial freedom. This study aims to better understand the possibilities for current urban and housing mobile types in the formation of cities\' morphologies, analyzing if there is a noteworthy increase on the temporary attribute of the object when in relation to its surroundings (urban), and a detachment between both forms of space production (AU)
