Reflecting on how we approach the memory and history of architecture and the city is essential to discussing which cultural heritage we are preserving. Furthermore, there is a growing discourse regarding social participation in preservation policies. However, there are few means and methods for valuing alternative meanings of heritage. In this scenario, the Participatory Cultural Reference Inventory method emerges as a potential tool for developing participatory preservation processes, adding new dimensions to the argument for the importance of cultural assets. It builds a dataset that serves as a complex image of a territory, driven by collective mobilization and dialogue among different stakeholders. In this course, we will present the Participatory Inventory method through debates on the construction of the cultural heritage field and case studies, focusing on the possibility of building new perspectives for cultural heritage in cities.

The book Parques urbanos de São Paulo (Urban Parks of São Paulo) features photographic essays documenting the daily life of thirteen parks in São Paulo, as diverse as the city and its population: parks in the center and the periphery, new and old, famous and locally known. The photos reveal the plurality of uses that residents make of these spaces, and surprise by showing them from a detached perspective, focusing equally on both planned and incidental aspects. The book launch will take place, fittingly, at Ibirapuera Park on May 11th at 11:00 AM.

Target audience: Architecture students, architects, designers, travel enthusiasts, photographers, and anyone interested in photography.
