A porosidade no largo da batata: cultura como patrimônio imaterial na cidade contemporânea

Abstract

The Largo da Batata becomes an object of study in the search for understanding porosity in the city as a condition of occupation and use of public spaces by man, and man self-buildingfrom possible experiences for immersion in this sphere. Public space hasidentified as space of meanings, made of layers that denote the transformations on the sense of place. In this context, the pores are indirectly perceived as they are not able to be interpreted only by the physical forms (visual); this is a phenomenological analysis of modes of today’s occupation, the dynamics of use and identity of this place throughout its history - understood here as their membranes. Therefore, we inquire what are the parameters that define the porosity? Is there a relationship between the conditions of physical porosity and social porosity? If so, how they qualify the public urban spaces in the daily city (existential space)? Can we build porosity?
