Editora Temporária
[Temporary Publishing House], 2013
Publications about the city, and that use design as the guiding line, were the focus of the Editora Temporária project, a two-month occupation held at the Centro Carioca de Design [Design Center of Rio de Janeiro]. A call for propositions was issued and the publishing committee selected three projects. Photos of anonymous people found in a variety of places around Rio de Janeiro are the subject of the book A125. The Caderno de Observações [Book of Comments] or Coreografias do Cotidiano [Choreographies of Everyday Life], in turn, examine body movements and space interactions of pedestrians in the city center. And Cidade-Andaime: Estruturas Transitórias na Cidade Contemporânea [Scaffold City: Transitory Structures in the Contemporary City] casts scrutiny on its possibilities as a city design by identifying the ubiquity of temporary structures in the urban landscape. Finally, the fourth volume reports the experience of this process.
