SIDE QUEST CG: A Gamificação Urbana como Recurso de Reconhecimento da Cidade

Abstract

The culture of immediacy and productivity imposed and cultivated by society in recent years has been further enhanced by technology, resulting in social isolation, also reflecting in the city in a physical way, which can be perceived by the abandonment of public spaces and the political sphere . Within this context, architecture ends up becoming a resource of segregation and imposition. From this, the following question arises: “How to resume social relations between individuals and urban spaces, also stimulating discussions and reflections?” Trying to answer this question, this project proposes playful experiments focused on the occupation of the city, using resources such as urban gamification and interactive designs and focusing on the central area of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul. Therefore, it is expected that the project be a breather within the current context of a society focused on productivity and immediacy, an incentive to explore the diverse faces and local histories, providing opportunities for a collective construction of the city we want to inhabit.
