Urban and architecture
(in: FURTADO, Gonçalo, Estruturação
e suportes da produção de espaço urbano (1999). In: AAVV, Dédalo, N.5,
Fevereiro 2009, Porto, p.112-127.)
It is
therefore urgent to reflect upon the structuring and support for the production
of urban space. On the operativeness of architecture in contemporary
urban-territorial reality, it should be said that the recent territorial
dynamics and the existence of urban forms of various natures (between the
existing and emerging cities) justify and require different approaches
(methodological - in the creation / extension, readaptation / restructuring and
so forth. - and instrumental). This will eventually allow us to reflect upon
appropriate intervention modalities, with a priority for the public domain
(structuring the shape of the city) and the conventions of territorial
relationship (based on mobility and flows) arising from the new
space-territorial relationship. The contemporary urban reality encompasses
methodological and instrumental changes, reinforcing the potential protagonism
of the network of urban and collective space[i]. These are in parallel with the networks,
centralities and new types of public space, as well as the potential of
inactive-inert spaces.
