Urban
approaches in the regional and metropolitan scale in Rio have failed
to respond
to one of the fundamental problems of infrastructure space:
that architecture
not only materialises this logic (at the “local” level), but it may
also transform this logic and operate
it from the scale of architecture.
In the lecture, I advocate for a particular approach that intends to disclose how we can manipulate the infrastructural – that is, the regional capitalist economy, its metropolitan space, etc – through the architectural project.
The lecture is associated with the research project “The architecture of transit estates”.
