Her seminars foster bodily experiments and critical thinking on "city's sensuality", where discussions on city marketing and affectivity are central. She was educated in architecture and urbanism in Brazil and Portugal and holds a Master of Fine Arts in Public Art and new artistic strategies. Idealizing and realizing artistic-oriented projects that intervene in relations between bodies and cities is her main concern since the mid-nineties; where she preferably works in transdisciplinary groups, as in "Lisbon Capital of Nothing: create, debate and intervene in public space, Marvila 2001". Daniela currently runs the project "Baustelle M10 > gallery for contemporary experiments" within a collective of artists and students in Weimar.}, subject = {Architekturtheorie}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Brasil2011, author = {Brasil, Daniela}, title = {EXPERIMENTING WITH THE URBAN EXPERIENCE: Rio, Lisbon and Weimar. A (re)search for creative collaborations and active exercises of citizenship}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.1456}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20110811-15525}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, year = {2011}, abstract = {This practice-based research examines platforms and encounters that have a participatory character as a strategy to create lived and shared experiences where new forms of appropriation of the city can emerge. The selected case studies propose and initiate certain urban experiences that induce changes in perception, the exchange of perspectives, and that denaturalize habits and patterns of behavior. I suggest that when these sensitive experiences become imprinted in body memory, they can empower citizens to have more active, creative, and/or critical attitudes towards their environments. Searching for new repertoires of everyday practices that contest commodification of both the body and the city, this thesis is oriented towards open-ended processes of constructing mentalities rather than those of planning changes on the material conditions of public space. It uses forms of academic investigation that merge intellectual debate and experimental practice, joining art, urbanism and social engaged practices in an extradisciplinary (Howes 2007) attitude towards the city. Based on the materials generated by the case studies (combining theoretical knowledge with artistic sensibility), the affective and corporeal involvement of researchers in the situations they analyze and co-create, is sustained in opposition to the traditional academic critical distance.}, subject = {Erlebnis}, language = {en} }
