Paragem de Autocarro. Dimensão coletiva de um lugar comum na cidade

Abstract

With the desire of making visible all the different sociabilities present in the place of the bus stop, important for the sense of community, as well as the various flows that are established in the city, it becomes interesting, in the disciplinary field of architecture and its transversalities, to formulate, in a dissertation form, a critical thinking that allows, from the analysis of a part, a contribution to the understanding of the contemporary urban whole. That said, understanding the multidisciplinarity of themes included in this common place that architecture needs to keep present, viewing the bus stop as a priority for dialogue and a healthy commitment between the community, the city and public space. In fact, we start from the premise that by studying this morphological element with urban affirmation, we can start a more in-depth study and reflection on the importance of the bus stop and transition points within the scope of mobility networks and flows in the context of urban life and the affirmation of urban being.
