Collective Space Project deals with spaces dedicated to the public, within a context that relates people and collective space, and analyzes places of common use such as squares, parks, leisure areas, schools, stadiums, transport stations, meeting rooms shows, cultural spaces, markets, etc. The subject discusses the role of cities as promoters of the occupation of public space as opposed to private space, in addition to the processes of occupation and identity construction that these spaces require in the context of culture.
The subject ARQ 1104 has as its theme, more than collective space, public space. Its main objective is to promote reflection on what distinguishes public architecture from private architecture. To this end, two lines of design exercises are developed: (1) projects with an emphasis on structural systems and construction methods, whose programs have an eminently public profile, as is the case of the Media Library with a public square and spaces for collective coexistence; (2) collective space projects, such as the Dance School. The themes to be explored in the first exercise are: universal accessibility, modulation, reproducibility, flexibility, adaptability, prefabrication and treatment of free areas, and in the second exercise: relationship with the surroundings, verticalization, stacking, cubing, plumb, organization of flows and constructive rationalization.
