Short Description
The BIP “From place to city: constructing collectively the habitat” (6ECTS) aims to engage students to collaborative design approaches in diverse social, economic, and technological neighborhood contexts. The Northern Crown of the Lisbon Municipality, specifically the Ameixoeira area, is characterized by territorial fragmentation and a lack of social and urban cohesion.
The Lisbon municipality has implemented various strategies for its redevelopment; however, there are socio-urban precedents such as illegal settlements, the island effect and ghettoization of some resettlement neighborhoods, urban decay in the historic core, and the proliferation of vacant urban spaces and undeveloped land. These challenges are difficult to overcome using conventional approaches.
It is therefore urgent to rethink fragmented territories, their dynamics, and transformations, in more human, democratic, resilient, and sustainable ways through the creation of spaces for transdisciplinary ideation and innovative and collaborative urban creative practices. Only in this way can we promote and foster thought and spatial intervention practices associated with active community participation in the development of public policies for the urban common.
This fragmented territory also lacks a strategy and territorial model that adds value and identity. Public space can play a significant role as a unifying force through its contribution to the physical and functional qualification of the cores and by facilitating better integration between communities and the services provided by elements of the ecosystem - soil, vegetation, fauna, water, sunlight, open space, food production, etc. - promoting pedestrian accessibility, improving functions and activities, creating centralities, fostering innovation, adding value, and contributing to the construction of a more sustainable sense of community.
In this regard, both academics and non-academics should contribute to refocusing the collective construction of the habitat on mediating strategies inherent in negotiation processes in the design of public space.
It is under this perspective that Iscte - Lisbon University Institute (host institution) , in association with the Lisbon City Council DMU/DPU/DRAUGI, Instituto Superior Técnico, and Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon, are promoting an integrated and inclusive intervention in fragmented territories.
