Escola da Cidade is hosting the workshop "Amphibious Architectures – Cultural Spaces in Marajó/PA." This study trip, beginning July 16, is designed to foster reflection and develop proposals for cultural spaces in riverside regions.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Drawing on on-site experiences, the course explores design practices and discussions regarding spaces dedicated to culture in the Marajó region, located in the Amazon River estuary, specifically within the municipalities of Chaves and Afuá on Marajó Island, Pará. Through this workshop, students will gain the tools and methodologies to identify, analyze, and propose solutions for cultural areas in riverside settings. The study trip will take place from July 16 to 29 and is open to undergraduate students in Architecture and Urbanism, Design, Social Sciences, Environmental Engineering, and Law, as well as anyone interested in human intervention in areas with significant tidal variations.
