O movimento no espaço - arquitetura que narra o corpo

Abstract

This dissertation investigates the movement as an essential condition of architecture and its potential as a promise of inhabitation. Through a theoretical, reflective, and essayistic approach it explores how space, mediated by the body, generates routes, paths, and pauses, shaping spatial narratives that structure life and collective memory. The research articulates a theoretical framework and engages with the architectural cases of Casa Prieto López by Luis Barragán, the Baghdad Stadium by Le Corbusier, and the Ladeira da Misericórdia by Lina Bo Bardi, giving voice to the relationships between body and space. This investigation culminates in the study of the architect as a spatial storyteller, someone who listens, observes, anticipates, and transforms. The methodology combines a literature review with morphological and interpretative analysis, aiming to understand how the design process can anticipate human experience. This research contributes to the discussion of architecture as a narrative, interpretative, and sensitive practice, highlighting its capacity to organise space and to condition life.
