Materialidades comunicantes: relações de pertença nas narrativas arquitetônicas e urbanas

Abstract

In the age of digital ubiquity the physical spaces are permeated by the flow of data and many of the contemporary buildings are built with the help of information and communication technologies (ICT). From this process emerge new modes of experience of architectural and urban spatially dimensioned by the use of computational resources. The research seeks to answer the inquiry as to whether communicational relations and modes of interaction in multidimensional spatialities of conscious practices. The study aims at analyzing the spatialities, examining the informational layers, corporeality relations and modes of manifestation of the sensitive, in order to reveal their communicational character and to add value to works as visual texts. What is defended is the thesis that a high degree of aesthetic activation, through the technological contribution, does not lead to a greater probability of aesthetic experience. In addition, a physical space without an apparent call to interactivity can provide more intense sense regimes, creating predictive and conditional relations of belonging between subject and object, as well as the construction of interaction by digital pathways. Belonging tends to manifest itself in the subject endowed with a sensitive competence to look and feel the other. The empirical cut is limited to the spatiality that appropriates information and communication technologies as a constituent part of its materiality and that incorporate them into intelligent practices, with the purpose of benefiting the user and the environment. In order to account for the analysis, the theoretical foundation has as pillars Lucrécia Ferrara, especially with the study of the spatiality and its communicating condition; Lev Manovich, who conceptualizes the increased space; Hans Gumbrecht, with the aesthetics of everyday life and Eric Landowski, with regimes of interaction and meaning. The methodological process runs through the application of Visual Semiotics with the investigation of semi-symbiotic relations between expression and content, and the application of aesthetic theories to unveil relations of belonging in multidimensional architectural and urban narratives. It is considered that the intelligence of a spatiality is not in the mere utilization of the technology itself, which is in a ubiquitous way digitally superimposed upon materiality, but in its appropriation for conscious purposes. Finally, there is the multiplier effect of this intelligent character of materiality, capable of positively impacting the ways of communicating, feeling and interacting and living in cities.
