Agro-urbanismo
Published Monday, May 26, 2008.O fenómeno da agricultura no meio urbano foi quase sempre entendido como actividade subsidiária, marginal, da vida das cidades. Espécie de ocupação errática dos baldios, apropriações avulsas das classes desfavorecidas em espaços sobrantes de pouco valor e fraca qualificação, ao abrigo de transposições bucólicas da “vida do campo”.
Começamos hoje a compreender o preconceito por detrás destes juízos, entendendo o agro-urbanismo como uma categoria importante na designação do todo urbano. Assistimos ao aumento continuado dos preços de bens alimentares em consequência de um fenómeno de escassez à escala global. As preocupações perante esta nova realidade começam a tomar forma em diversas propostas de modelos de exploração agrícola no território das cidades. De dimensão local ou expressão utópica, vale a pena conhecer o fruto de algumas destas investigações em dois artigos recentes, a descobrir no Landscape+Urbanism e no URB.

Agro-urbanism
Agriculture in urban space was always perceived as a subsidiary phenomenon, a marginal activity in city life. An erratic occupation of urban voids by underprivileged classes.
We are beginning to understand the prejudice behind such judgements, recognizing agro-urbanism as an important category of the built environment. With the steady rising of global food prices, new worries are starting to shape exploratory proposals for models of agricultural practice in urban territory.
Of local expression or utopian in nature, they provide an interesting reflection as you can discover on a couple of recent articles published on Landscape+Urbanism and URB.

COLOPHON
The architecture blog A Barriga de um Arquitecto / The Belly of an Architect (written in bilingual Portuguese-English) is mainly focused on contemporary architecture and urban design, covering recent works from Portuguese architects as well as projects of international significance.
My name is Daniel Carrapa. I was born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1973. I’m an architect living in Évora, a nice historical town that was included in the World Heritage List by UNESCO in 1986. I’m married, have 4 cats – Óscar, Matilde, Margarida, Patanisco – and 1 dog – Moby. Moby is a three-legged dog. He’s okay. I graduated as an architect in 1996 (FAUTL Lisbon Faculty of Architecture). I am also an authority on cat litter and will provide expert advice upon request. I love traveling, watching movies, reading books and draining the battery from my X360 gamepad. In my lifetime I have visited the following countries: India, Nepal, China (Hong-Kong and Macau), Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany and the Netherlands. I have also completed many videogames.
I love feedback, so feel free to drop me a line to abarrigadeumarquitecto@ gmail.com or meet me on Facebook. I'm also registered on Twitter.
