Borders, architecture and consumption: towards a heterotopy of the city

Main Article Content

Abstract

This article reflects on border studies of the city and its space, where every day the consumption and the urban use is monopolized by the capital. Nevertheless, the city creates inside itself places where desires and guessing works are elaborated and re-transmitted, and where everything can be possible. It is in this “heterotopia”, as Foucault would call it, which the cities are reconstructed every day; it is in this space where the architecture becomes a visible consumption at the metropolis.
