ARTICULANDO ENSINO, PESQUISA E EXTENSÃO:

O URBANO SOB A LÓGICA DE RUAS COMPLETAS

Abstract

The present article describes the results of a didactic-pedagogical experience developed in an extensionist discipline and taught in the last school year in the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (FAU-UFJF). In this discipline, entitled "Design and Urban Mobility", undergraduate students worked in groups and developed proposals for the adaptation of streets, Marechal Deodoro and Batista de Oliveira, in the downtown area, in the logic of Complete Streets. The Complete Streets concept seeks to redistribute street space in a more accessible way, encouraging active modes of travel and is also an initiative that strengthens trade and local identity. The teaching methodology employed was developed by the following stages: i) instruction and theoretical foundation of the students to work with the concept; ii) the choice of areas to be worked; iii) guidance and support for the development of student proposals; and iv) presentation of the proposals to the society, through an exhibition. This work intends to strengthen the discussion about the theme, to articulate teaching, research and university extension, and to promote approaches of teaching of urban project that consider more specifically the scale of the street, aspects related to the walkability and that can contribute to the construction of a more sustainable and equitable city.
