At the same time, a recent phenomenon happening in many cities around Brazil, and particularly in Brasilia, has given rise to new forms of citizenship. It has been through the reclaiming of public spaces, for social, cultural, economic or environmental purposes that social movements, community organizations and cultural producers have been creating new spaces and new means for action, experimenting with different collective forms of democratic governance and communal decision-making. By appropriating, transforming and/or reclaiming public spaces for mutual benefit, different actors are engaging in the social practice of commoning, reclaiming their right to the city and redefining citizenship. In this context, this project proposes to leverage the existing initiatives by visualizing, translating, interpreting and representing them in what Teddy Cruz calls ‘tactics of translation’. Under these circumstances, this design proposal is a strategy for the democratic governance of public space. Through different scales, it is meant to reveal and connect the existing practices in order to coordinate and synergize their efforts; it translates and shares the found protocols to amplify and replicate these initiatives; it leverages the existing spaces of collective action as legitimate grounds for decision-making; and, finally, it provides means for a more inclusive and plural governance of public space. Reimagining public space and its governance is inseparable from reinventing the scope of democratic participation and control over our living context. These strategies are meant to gather voices and envision possible futures for Brasilia, designed by and for its inhabitants. It also encourages people to use public space and start caring for, reflecting on and demanding urban and social changes.

No entanto, o Conic é hoje considerado por muitos como o " avesso de Brasília ". Devido às irregularidades durante a sua construção e principalmente aos usos e apropriações do espaço ao longo da sua história, é um lugar esquecido por boa parte da população e principalmente pelas autoridades locais. Por um lado, este abandono acabou gerando um espaço único em Brasília que reúne muita diversidade social e cultural. Por outro, o descaso com o Conic acabou gerando espaços colaterais e lugares ociosos que poderiam ser melhor aproveitados. Portanto, é preciso intervir de maneira delicada e consciente para que no processo de melhoria do espaço e consequente valorização do mesmo, não ocorra um processo de gentrificação, descaracterizando o Conic que conhecemos hoje. Neste contexto, o trabalho a seguir apresenta os procedimentos e as propostas de intervenção, que envolvem a participação da comunidade, o urbanismo tático e a arte urbana como orientações da regeneração urbana e da valorização do Conic, por meio de intervenções interativas in loco, estruturas temporárias, mobiliário com reaproveitamento de materiais, pintura de empenas e pavimento, visando o baixo custo, porém, com grande impacto.

Located in central Brasilia, Conic, a complex of buildings in the Sector of Amusement, was conceived by Lucio Costa as a sophisticated and cosmopolitan place aimed to house commercial and entertainment functions. However, Conic is now considered by many as the "reverse of Brasilia". Due to irregularities during its construction and especially to the uses and appropriations of space throughout its history, it is a place forgotten by most of the population and especially by local authorities. On one hand, this indifference has generated a unique place in Brasilia that brings a lot of social and cultural diversity. On the other hand, the neglect of Conic ended up generating idle side spaces and places that could be better used. Therefore, it is necessary to intervene in a delicate and conscious way in order to avoid gentrification during the process of improvement and consequent appreciation of Conic's public spaces, discomposing the Conic we know today. In this context, the work below shows the procedures and intervention proposals, involving community participation, tactical urbanism and urban art as guidelines for urban regeneration and recognition of Conic through interactive interventions, temporary structures and urban furniture with reuse of materials, wall and floor painting, aimed at low cost interventions but with great impact.
