O para-formal no centro da cidade: o caso de Salvador, Bahia, Brasil

Abstract

The text was written from research devoted to map the "para-formalidade" in the center of Salvador/Bahia/Brazil, through urban cartography, making use of infographics and being released in real time via the website. The workshop was held in "Corpocidade 3", and divided into walkers and interventions. The research turns to the unregulated spaces where activities occur that tend to subvert the traditional laws of economics, urban planning and human relations, generating important changes, both theoretical and practical, in thinking and planning the city. For this research, the "para-formal" are all activities (commercial, cultural, housing, etc.) found in the public space of the city, which is not part of its urban design (original), but that "now" - nowadays - do part of their daily lives. Until now, the main results revolve around the body, space and time in the center of the cities.
