Abstract

This article proposes and conceptualizes meta-designs for urban fluvial infrastructure in public architecture, and consists of two parts: “concepts” and “design”. The former discusses relevant concepts to understanding the built environment of cities, developed in conversations and projects carried out by the Grupo Metrópole Fluvial, FAU USP, coordinated by Professor Alexandre Delijaicov. It includes considerations on constitutive elements of the urban fluvial infrastructure, such as rivers, canals, bridges, streets, galleries, piers, and ports. After reflecting on the relationship between these constructions and the environment and human needs, the second part presents, through diagrams, meta-designs for watersheds in their various scales. These meta-designs propose ideas for structuring places taking rivers as axes for environmental and urban development, which consider the watershed as the planning, design, and management unit. Delimiting this drainage area is key for understanding the site and how its nature can be or was built. This methodology on studies about cities allows to construct urban infrastructure elements which guarantee basic and environmental sanitation conditions throughout the inhabited area.
