Abstract

This research sought to deepen the study of the landscape in the periphery of the metropolis through an interdisciplinary approach, making use of theories and practices applied to the case study of Jardim Celeste and its surroundings, Sao Paulo. The compound term landscape of places was defined and utilized as a means to focus the study of the landscape on the importance of proposing social transformations through creative and critical thinking. Moreover, the social, cultural and environmental processes inherently related to the study object and its empirical field have been fully considered. The concepts and methods were created as the research progressed and they aimed ultimately at expanding the knowledge and empowerment of those involved in the research. To this end, a variety of methods and practical activities were organized and implemented, such as: participant observation, mapping of the study object and is substrate, interviews, questionnaires, community work and workshops, all of them being participatory. In short, this dissertation examines new understandings and perspectives of the landscape in the metropolis through the prism of the landscape of places, which proposes a visual, sensorial and aesthetic stance on the public spaces of everyday life.
