LabLugares

LabLugares is a research group in architecture and urbanism that addresses the theme of architecture and cities from a historical perspective on the construction of places and ideas, embodied in buildings and urban projects. This research space was born from the reading of cities through the door of health (BRESCIANI, 1992), considering the importance of articulating memories with a precise material base and place, and taking into account not only the ability to individual or group recall but memories eternalized in landscapes, monuments and documents (ABREU, 1996). In this sense, despite the continuity of studies on hospital and health architecture, we have expanded the scope of the works to include other functional types within a wide period that goes from the mid-19th century to the 1960s, a period in which they have observed modernization processes that had an impact on the built space and on the forms and conceptions about designing and building.
