The theme “The Space to Live Together: a new cartography of urban-ground” questions ¿what spaces we need tomorrow? and uses as reference the call for reflection of Biennale of Venice in 2021 – “How will we live together”, proposed by Hashim Sarkis.
The city is always in transformation, under construction and in decay, in use and transgression. It is a constant process of appropriation and reinterpretation. Inspired on graphic method of Giambattista Nolli, we propose to investigate the public form of the port city of Setúbal, in Portugal, in order to develop urban projects that seek the possibility of transforming abandoned historical structures into contemporary places that respond to the new demands of a public life. We intend to continue to imagine the city! But we also want to find a balance between the existing city, that we inherited from the past, and the need to transforming it in order to continue living together.
