IDENTIDADE, DESIGN E CULTURA NA CIDADE CONTEMPORÂNEA

Abstract

This article reflects on the characteristics of cultural identity, observable in urban design inserted in the environment of cities in the observation process. Our aim is to bring the discussion of contemporary urban identities with reference to cities with cultural diversity and hence projective variety. It is intended to contribute to the design theory when registering expressions of cultural identity today, in the cities referenced. The identity of a culture reflects the way of life in this complex urban society and adds value to the field of design, exposing a variety of languages and interrelationships material and immaterial. In this analysis, the elements only make sense if seen in context, the surroundings should be observed in a complex network of inter - systemic relationships of factors and functions.
