WORKING WITH THE LINE

“To inhabit, for the individual or for the group, is to appropriate something. To appropriate is not to own, but to make it one’s own work, to mould it, to shape it, to put one’s own stamp on it. To inhabit is to appropriate a space […] By this term [appropriation] we do not mean ownership; instead, it is something entirely different; it is the process by which an individual or group appropriates, transforms into their property, something external.”
Henri Lefebvre

‘A Vila do Mañá’ emerges from the right to the city, as defended by Henri Lefebvre, so that the people who live in it have the right to enjoy it, to transform it and to reflect their way of understanding life in the community. From this point of view, how can we not include the right of children and adolescents to their city? For this reason, public space is considered a common space for learning and collective construction in which children and adolescents must also have a place.

The aim of ‘A Vila da Mañá’ is to change the model of town or city, we believe that another one can be possible. This is achieved through the protagonist participation of local children and adolescents who, by working with fundamental concepts through tactical urban planning actions, become active citizens capable of transforming their spaces.

In this case, you work with the space, being the body that travels and plays in the spaces with all the senses deployed, through the experimentation of light, texture, colour, sound… transforming public spaces into common ones.

“But the line hides among its other properties, and ultimately, the deeply hidden desire to procreate a plane, thus becoming a thicker, more closed in its own. […] When the line dies, at what time does the plane arise? […] Basic plan means the material surface called to receive the content of the work. […] The basic schematic plane is limited by two horizontal and two vertical lines, and thus acquires, in relation to the surrounding environment, an independent entity. ”

Working with three-dimensional elements

“The opportunity for the child to discover his or her own movement is part of the city itself; the city is also a play space. The child uses all the elements of the city, all the built objects, all the surfaces he or she can climb or climb on. Children know how to play with these things very well, even if they are not allowed to.”
Aldo van Eyck

‘A Vila do Maña’ works with three-dimensional elements, based on Froebel’s “third gift”.
In architecture we have Froebel as a reference, through Frank Lloyd Wrigth who was educated with this method. It is a system based on the creativity and intuition of the child through direct experience, play and nature. It creates a pedagogical resource based on ‘gifts’ and ‘occupations’. The ‘gifts’ are pedagogical materials that do not change, but are transformed; the ‘occupations’ are activities in which children play by transforming the objects they manipulate. The ‘gifts’ are precursors of today’s building blocks.

WORKING WITH THE PERCEPTION

The aim of ‘A Vila da Mañá’ is to change the model of town or city, we believe that another one can be possible. This is achieved through the protagonist participation of local children and adolescents who, by working with fundamental concepts through tactical urban planning actions, become active citizens capable of transforming their spaces.

In this case it works with perception, that of the body itself and the environment that surrounds them. Understanding how they perceive their town, we try to provoke in girls, boys, and teenagers a new vision of everyday spaces, seeking to break with the familiar and so that they can see the same places with different eyes.

“But the line hides among its other properties, and ultimately, the deeply hidden desire to procreate a plane, thus becoming a thicker, more closed in its own.

“A good urban acupuncture would be one that enables everyone to know their city. How many people, in reality, truly know their own city? It’s hard to respect what you don’t know. But how can you respect your city if you don’t understand it? Draw your city. […] But how can you improve your city if you don’t even know it well? What do you do for it, if you’re not even able to draw it? That’s the crux of the matter.”

Jaime Lerner

To understand how the inhabitants, both current and future, perceive their town, we will use the following strategy: we set off ‘adrift’ with a large golden frame, so that during our wandering, we frame those urban elements that are important to them (an experience based on the work of O’Grady). Who have been the protagonists of this ‘A Vila do Mañá’ experience? On this occasion, during their wandering, they have reDISCOVERED places in their town, perhaps forgotten ones.
With ‘A Vila do Mañá’, the village in which they live is not an abstract idea, nor a series of small partial images; it begins to be understood as a much more complex and expansive environment, bringing us closer to the notion of habitat: the space that transcends its physical location in a territory where we fulfil our needs, establishing relationships with others and with the environment, both natural and built; involving processes in which it transforms, but in which we are also transformed.
