RESUMO

This work addresses the currentness and applicability to the contemporary city of the in-between concept intermediation territories developed initially in small scale, within the criticism that the last ciam generation made to the modernistic urbanistic thought. For this purpose, a mapping is performed of concepts, conditions, and problems faced by urbanism in the last century. The path developed shows the emergence of some pictures and themes in the transition from the modern city to the contemporary one, that present themselves as possibilities of fecund experimentation in the fields of architecture and urbanism. The theoretical mesh plotted is compared to case studies, where the possibilities of application of these concepts to a particular reality are exploited, analyzing the case of the Recife-Olinda Project (2005-2007), and articulating the analysis with specific themes and materials from other relevant projects that help throwing light on the problem. This way, the picture or concept intermediation territories (in-between), and the vacant lots themes are worked out as expressive resulting of the two movements of passage from the modern city to the contemporary one: separating and setting apart and dispersing and fragmenting. As correlate themes and materials, the design and articulation of the citys key systems were researched mobility, housing, centrality, and environment. The conclusion is that in-between is current, yes, to capture certain needs of the urban project, in the context of a contemporary city, marked by fragmentation, by quick change and indeterminations that are characteristics of deterritorialized networks, and the consequent expansion of territorial inequalities.
