Experiential cognition, embodied observation and sustainability in the post-occupancy evaluation of urban environments

This paper is based on Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela’s insights – the observer is not independent of reality – and on Bruno Latour’s – observation and experience are constructed; knowledge does not reflect a real exterior world, but a real interior world.

Based also on ProLUGAR Group’s experience on post occupancy evaluation (POE), the paper recognizes the object of investigation as inseparable from the observer – the built environment as something to be learned; suggests that observation can be consciously guided; shifts the reflexion to how the observer guides his actions during observation; recommends more attention to the “intentional knowledge” instead of on the models, rules and proceedings of the traditional know-how. It presents the experiential approach, which implies a change of the observer’s attitude regarding the environment, and its application – the embodied observation – in POE of urban environments. The reflexion incorporates the “cognitive-experiential view” in the study of parts of Corredor Cultural Project in Rio de Janeiro.

Este artigo está fundamentado no pensamento de Humberto Maturana e Francisco Varela – o observador não é independente da realidade – e de Bruno Latour – observação e experiência são construções; o conhecimento não reflete um mundo exterior real, mas um mundo interior real. Também levando em conta a experiência do Grupo ProLUGAR com avaliação pós-ocupação (APO), o artigo reconhece o objeto da observação como inseparável do observador – o ambiente construído como algo a ser apreendido; sugere que a observação pode ser conscientemente guiada; desloca a reflexão para como o observador guia suas ações no observar; e recomenda maior atenção ao “saber intencional”, em detrimento dos modelos, regras e procedimentos do “saber-fazer” tradicional. Apresenta a abordagem experiencial, que implica a mudança de atitude do observador em relação ao ambiente e sua operacionalização – observação incorporada – na APO de ambientes urbanos. A reflexão incorpora o “olhar cognitivo-experiencial” no estudo de recortes da área do Projeto Corredor Cultural, no Rio de Janeiro. Os resultados parciais indicam que esta abordagem contribui para o campo do desenho urbano sustentável, por qualificar os olhares técnico e cognitivo-comportamental, enriquecendo a compreensão do caráter do lugar sobre como os atributos de desenho são percebidos pelos usuários e como este conhecimento pode vir a ser utilizado para qualificar o ambiente construído.
