In this context, the potential of using wood in combination with other materials, such as steel, in the composition of mixed vertical fencing systems stands out. This combination allows for greater construction versatility, ease of maintenance and disassembly, reuse of components, and the application of wood in different techniques — in its solid or industrialized form — expanding its suitability for different production contexts. This study aimed to analyze different techniques for vertical fencing systems in steel and wood developed by Jean Prouvé, identifying the key aspects that make these construction solutions applicable in the current context. This study is both theoretically and technically relevant, contributing to the deepening of research on mixed construction systems, still little discussed in the literature, and discussing possible paths for developing more rational and sustainable solutions in architecture. The methodology adopted involved bibliographic and documentary research, redesign and three-dimensional modeling of the selected works, and constructive experimentation using scale models created with the aid of 3D printing of components. This approach allowed us to understand the assembly logic, the relationships between materials, and the structural and formal behavior of the systems, enabling an integrated analysis of their technical, environmental, and socioeconomic dimensions. The results demonstrate that Prouvé's construction principles, based on rationalization, modularity, and disassembly, remain fully relevant when reinterpreted in light of currently available technologies and materials. The conclusion is that mixed steel and wood systems represent viable, sustainable, and adaptable construction solutions capable of reconciling technological innovation, material efficiency, and environmental responsibility, reaffirming the relevance of Jean Prouvé's legacy in the face of the challenges of 21st-century construction.

However, it is observed that contemporary experiences have moved toward a redirection toward valuing this knowledge as fundamental to a more critical and pluralistic education. Thus, we seek to establish a sample of how traditional knowledge has been approached in contemporary AU education. To this end, we draw on the theoretical foundation of decolonial thought to understand the specificities of Latin America and conduct a historical-critical review of AU education, reiterating its history of erasing this knowledge. We then analyze the Pedagogical Course Projects of three case studies and subsequently report on experiences developed within these courses in partnership with traditional Afro-Indigenous communities.

El objetivo es comprender la constitución de estos territorios, sus tipologías, sus interrelaciones dentro del tejido urbano y la estructura cultural boliviana en la metrópolis, considerando tanto sus dimensiones espaciales como simbólicas. Se busca destacar cómo la lógica de la ocupación cultural contribuye a la formación de territorios significativos para la comunidad, articulando cultura, espacio urbano y prácticas sociales. La metodología combina investigación bibliográfica y documental, recolección de datos e investigación de campo, adoptando la etnografía urbana propuesta por Magnani para analizar los territorios “de cerca y desde dentro”, y la fotoetnografía como recurso narrativo y analítico. Mediante esta comprensión y conceptualización, se amplía la perspectiva sobre la feria de Kantuta, un espacio constituido por la plaza y la propia feria, que fue creado y territorializado por inmigrantes bolivianos, con el fin de diseccionar y exponer este conjunto como un territorio emblemático de los inmigrantes bolivianos a nivel social, cultural y urbano.

Ausência de políticas de preservação nas pequenas cidades de formação recente no Noroeste Paulista Abstract: Although the 1988 Federal Constitution established a broad and democratic understanding of cultural heritage, preservation practices in Brazil often persist in maintaining a restrictive view of what should be recognized as cultural assets. There remains a widespread notion that heritage is limited to monumental buildings, works signed by great artists, or creations from distant historical periods. This conception, which runs counter to the constitutional text’s inclusive perspective on preservation, excludes the vast majority of Brazilian cities—particularly the small and recently founded ones. This master’s dissertation, developed within the Graduate Program in Architecture and Urbanism at the Federal University of Uberlândia (PPGAU-UFU), seeks to deconstruct the limiting notion of cultural heritage as restricted solely to monumental assets and, consequently, to traditional preservation instruments. It does so through a discussion on cultural heritage in small, recently established cities of the northwestern region of São Paulo State, focusing on the municipalities of Bebedouro and Colina. In parallel, the research aims to propose possible paths for fostering heritage awareness in these localities, supporting the development of public preservation policies integrated with local and regional urban development. Drawing on the theoretical contributions of authors such as Gatti and Zandonade (2017), Endlich and Detoni (2022), Campos and Inoue (2020), Meneses (2012), Motta (2023), Chuva (2017), Rocha (2020), Meira (2004), and Schicchi (2022), among others, this work seeks to promote a critical and expanded understanding of the concept of cultural heritage. By addressing the relationship between heritage and small, recently founded cities in northwestern São Paulo, and through the case studies of Bebedouro and Colina, the dissertation aims to reflect on how the municipalities of this region can embrace cultural heritage not only as a means of safeguarding it amid the city’s ongoing transformations, but also as a way to preserve and reinterpret their urban identity over time and across generations. In doing so, it aspires to contribute to improved quality of life, greater social identification and appropriation of space, and the construction of an intermunicipal approach to cultural heritage preservation.
