Unicidade: Proposta para uma cidadania ativa no espaço urbano aumentado do bairro de Casa Amarela

Abstract

Urban public spaces reflect changes in socioeconomic and political structures of a population. Concepts such as Augmented City reveal how this space is currently being progressively transformed and measured, as well as the growth of its importance. Given this context, this study investigates how to stimulate the feeling of protection and familiarity and how the designer can handle the complexity of this scenario. To that end, a project was proposed for the Casa Amarela neighbourhood, in Recife. Focusing on how to stimulate the engagement of the current group of residents to the collective Casa Amarela Saudável e Sustentável, techniques of Participatory Design were used for research, ideation and project development.
