oai:ojs.www.unisinos.br:article-78912021-08-30T19:09:21Z The Micro-Utopian City Cidade de microutopia Pérez-Herreras, Javier Seventeenth-century plans of the city of London show us a mineral place of timeless dimension. It is a city that unites its destiny with a utopia that transcends the individual that inhabits it. Time seems to stand still; it does not come about, perhaps because its destiny—that of its utopias—transcends time itself. This city of London is followed by a new place, the city of machines and movement. It is a city that reunites individuals in moving rooms and by the time of itinerancy. Then the notion of time in dwelling emerges together with distance, as derived from the idea of velocity. In this city of movement and increasingly accelerated time, this place today has been transformed into a pop-up place. These places are places that we select as virtual points and whose emergence from a virtual reality we encourage. They are places that we link to a personal and imagined city. They are virtual places that we inhabit in an almost disjointed way and places that take us to other places, to other homes, to other times where we fulfil our small dreams and eventually our own micro-utopias.Keywords: Eden, pop-up place, high-low tech city, micro-utopia. As plantas de Londres do século XVII mostram uma cidade de pedra e de dimensão atemporal. Uma cidade que une seu destino a uma utopia que transcende o indivíduo que a habita. O tempo passa quase sem suceder. Talvez porque seu destino, de suas utopias, transcende o próprio tempo. A esta cidade segue uma nova cidade, a cidade das máquinas e do movimento. Uma cidade que reúne indivíduos na permanente mudança de uma itinerância. Surge, então, a noção de tempo no habitar que, unido ao da distância, deriva da ideia da velocidade. Esta cidade do movimento e de um tempo cada vez mais acelerado está se transformando em uma cidade de lugares em permanente transição: lugares pop-up. Lugares virtuais que unimos de forma pessoal para alcançar nossa cidade pessoal. Lugares que habitamos de forma já quase desarticulada e que nos transladam a outros lugares, a outras pátrias, a outros tempos, onde conseguimos cumprir nossos pequenos sonhos. E, eventualmente, nossas microutopias.Palavras-chave: Éden, pop-up, high-low tech city, microutopia.
