Abstract

Disintegration Culture is a metaphor meant to describe the specific conditions of a sample of the territory of the northern cost of Viana do Castelo, using the transformations originated by the ruin of the physical and cultural structures of agriculture to suggest an alternative gaze and methodology, as a mean to an operative mediation in the recognition of the place. Through the merging of architectural sensibility and photographing expression a new and critical language is born, rehearsing an action of reflection which resizes the theme of abandonment in post-rural territories and forestall the reconstruction of this territory.
