The workshop aims to develop concepts of space and the city through an interdisciplinary bibliography, focusing on the poems of João Cabral de Melo Neto (O cão sem plumas) and the narratives of Maria de Lourdes Teixeira (Rua Augusta), João Antônio (Malagueta, Perus e Bacanaço), and Patrícia Galvão (Parque Industrial). These four writers turn their attention to the city, engaging with urban-architectural space through the perspective of the walker who, in some way, modifies these spaces. By exploring different ways of narrating the city, the sessions seek to awaken participants' awareness of the elements that shape it, and how the subject—this body in motion—interacts with them.

"Formentera was unique. The sea, and a little rock in the sea, and I was on this little-known rock because there was nothing there. [...] Being warm in winter when it is cold, being cool in summer when it is hot, and conserving water—that is all that is necessary to live. The wind, the sun, and the rain were what I needed, nothing more," summarized Henri Quillé in 2016, from Paris, after a career dedicated to building some 30 houses on Formentera, the smallest of the Balearic Islands.
