um exercício curatorial

Tese de mestrado, Museologia e Museografia, Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Belas Artes, 2012This study involves the reading of the urban landscape as a curatorial exercise into the existence and the construction of human utopias and is a case study applied to set urban benchmarks, in an analysis of its contexts of habitability. The city of Setubal as a macro urban structure provides an interesting subject for study in relation to its history of settlement and pre settlement, and the archaeological record of its formations and transformations as an area of settlement. The materialization of these experiences are presented as passive objects of reading through the "designs" of "urbanism and its buildings, utopias are materialized in physical objects, using concepts and styles observed, the elements that establish encrypted, or coded language. The case study applies to a micro structure of the urban estructure, Avenida Luisa Todi ,a perspective that emphasizes reading the pre-existence and existence of settlements, an analysis of the contemporary "organism" of the city, and the presentation of a museum –based intervention project, which safeguards its heritage and primates its classification as a whole entity. The analysis of urban features and buildings of the structure aims to emphasize the value of local studies, specifically of the city of Setubal, to enhance the value of its structure as an area of excellence because of its historical legacy in both a regional and national context. Finally, it aims to motivate people to participate in defense of their heritage as part of a collective identity. The practices and methodologies applied to this entity , as an object of study, could be a model for other educational projects in which issues of interpretation of urban landscapes, natural landscapes and built landscapes, should be the focus of reflection in the collection of memories , implementation of projects , dissemination of heritage education and safeguarding of heritage identities. A curatorial approach will be adopted in this Master’s thesis that seeks to comprehensively interpret the material plans of "museology" through the urban space of Avenida Luisa Todi, but which also uses a comparative approach to articulated "stories" which are subject to various readings. This reading, however, does not constitute a closed file on the object in questio
