Nadja Monnet et al., « Crossed Perspectives: observations, understandings and representations about contemporary urban dynamics », HAL-SHS : architecture, ID : 10670/1.fd8kf9
The ideas and opinions presented below are the result of two meetings organized jointly by the research group Contraplano - Documental Action’s Laboratory (Laboratori d'Acció Documental (LAD) of the Catalan Institute of Anthropology and the Laboratory Architecture / Anthropology (LAA) of the National School’s Architecture of Paris - La Villette that took place in June and October 2012 with the title "Document and understand the urban in the XXI century: dialogues between social scientists, architects and visual artists." These meetings were aimed to promote dialogue between researchers, practitioners of urban dynamics analysis and from different disciplines to meet and discuss ideas, ways of working and experiences at the intersection of the disciplines to initiate a collective reflection on the way we present and represent today urban phenomena. In our presentation we have chosen to maintain the chronological order of the experiences, pointing aspect on which we hope to continue working in future editions to establish a real dialogue which we would emerge interdisciplinary methodological and epistemological proposals for observation, analysis and understanding of our contemporary urban environments, as well as common tools to return the fruits of our research to main stakeholders: citizens.
