Espaços e Tempos nas Cidades trajetórias do Cosmos grego ao caos contemporâneo

Abstract

Space and time are two forms of sensibility that take part in architectural and in urbanistic production and in philosophical formulations. Every conception of world implies an aesthetic dimension that art brings to visibility. An archeological reading, that establishes interactions between different fields of knowledge, reveals the points of resistance and the possible passages which allowed the emergence and transformations of theoretical and practical discourses. In archaic Greece, the creation of a cosmos in chaos determined the privilege of space and the neutralization of time. Despite cultural displacements and some periods of greater temporal expression, space defined its domain in western civilization. However, contemporary thought no longer indicates an opposition but an immanent identity between chaos and cosmos. Rupture with the limits and the contours of forms enables the liberation of nomad flows and the revelation of time, creating different worlds based on new architectural and urbanistic configurations.
