A course shaped by journeys. The city is a space for constructing knowledge, and walking serves as the tool for a critical analysis of its conditions of existence. Cultural heritage is, above all, how we live, socialize, navigate, and think over time; it is about how we engage with what exists and what we produce for the future. Through four routes across different neighborhoods in São Paulo, the classes seek to deepen the analysis of the city through the lens of cultural heritage and explore the development of routes as a tool for inquiry. Cultural references, urban heritage, daily uses, the obsolete, politics, and the fetishization of cultural heritage will be the guiding themes of the activities.
