ARQ1387 _ SPECIAL TOPICS IN ARCHITECTURE LXXII
Reverse Atlantis: New Oil Territories in Brazil
This course is dedicated to accommodating different educational activities related to academic exchanges of different natures organized by the program. Its specific content varies according to specific initiatives ranging semiannually or according to specific demands.
This term, this studio proposes to investigate and develop new design and monitoring processes suitable for the acute processes of oil exploration in the new exploration sites fields auctioned in May 2013 by the National Petroleum Agency.
From the Amazon River Mouht, in Amapá, to Rio Grande do Norte, the new oil exploration areas – admittedly a territory marked by complex ecologies and urbanization processes little monitored – constitute both an operational and analytical context that offers the chance of a critical monitoring of their urban and landscape transformations .
In 2016-2 , the studio will work in the area surrounding the Port and Industrial Complex of Pecém, in the Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza, Ceará, one of the most impacted areas by the ANP auction .
