Book, First lesson in urbanism[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. Refusal of specialization and despite dialogue with the specialty, 'First Lesson in Urbanism', by Bernardo Secchi, examines in its examination a historical itinerary of this science and art as a qualified route of access to other areas of knowledge, taking as a basic consideration that ' urbanism has its own roots in the history of our culture and the time that nurtured it. The history of urbanism [...] is also the history of ideas and imaginaries'. Disagreements and clashes between the different theoretical, technical and scientific currents, as well as the contributions of the growing repertoire of knowledge, come together to give shape to its study. Covering a wide and varied range of elements and bringing the sensitivity of the urban planner closer to that of the 'common man', the non-specialist, constitute the double challenge to which this book responds with the density and richness of its analyzes and propositions. This First Lesson undertakes, as it were, a survey of problems and questions, at the same time, in a bold provocative move, it empties the discourse of individual punctuation of problem formulations and solutions, to establish that of a collective and bring to the scene multiple voices that helped to compose the discipline, raising, due to its resonance, a stimulating debate for future research and reflections.
