TECHNOLOGICAL-SOCIAL INNOVATION IN THE REUSE OF PETROLINA AND JUAZEIRO COLLECTIVE OPEN SPACES

Sharing the idea that the link between research and education is strategic not only for directing teaching activities but also for verifying the strengths and weaknesses of the research actions, the authors will illustrate an educational experience currently ongoing that well exemplifies this synergy. The proposed work collects the advances of a didactic-research activity concerning the proposal of design solutions for the reuse of collective spaces in critical climatic contexts with reference to urban areas in the northeast of Brazil. From the study of the structural hierarchy of the Petrolina and Juazeiro urbanizations comes the transformation hypothesis of the collective spaces in a network of interconnected natural environments that use all the environmental resources present with particular attention to those green + blue.
