Forma e Sistema na Cidade. Um modelo de representação

Abstract

The present work seeks to systematize an approach developed around the project inserted in an internship carried out in the Portuguese company Sonae, in the Information Systems & Innovation department, responsible for the development of a systems architecture in the field of informatics applied to the organization of this company. The challenge launched by the company stems from the constant concern to establish good communication and the way in which the architecture of a computer system could be physically represented. Thus, the materialization of information is used through a model, which constitutes the object of work of this department in the company. In order to respond to the challenge posed, the material dimension of the city was presented as the analogy that best ensured the representation of the aforementioned computer system. The urban plan of the city of Chandigarh, India, served as the main reference for the project. In this sense, it is intended to reflect and theorize about the projected Modern city and its legacy and transformation in today's cities, which allow building a representative interpretation of the model's project, concentrating different architectural assumptions and systemic thoughts.
