The everyday survival of the other at the border between ‘East’ and ‘West’ is the object of this study. The country in-between, Estonia, is a ‘melting pot’ of Russian, Western and Nordic influence, what makes this zone an active, diverse, nevertheless invisible in the global awareness. The process of transition and rapid neoliberalization, which is characteristic for the post-socialist country such as Estonia, brings together number of side-effects, lots of redundant people, who could not adapt to the new regime, who speculate and trade. The investigation of ‘Russian’ semi-official spaces of trade in Estonian capital, Tallinn, reveals the values and defects of the open-air markets.  The thesis highlights the need to politicize the processes around the disappearing and/or transforming the open-air markets in the city. In spite of the fact, that the informal trading is often connected with poverty, illegality, low hygiene, distrust and crime, this work explores the alternative ways of trading, the power of immediacy and aesthetics in confrontation to the global capital. The architecture as the transversal practice cuts across the patterns of trading based on irresponsible consumerism and desire, and experiments with the original concept of the market with the dialogue in front. The speculative interventions are the sites of the common life, production and renewal.

Ao longo de sua história, foram realizadas significativas intervenções arquitetônicas nos prédios tombados, com a intenção de renovar, adequar às necessidades de cada época e solucionar problemas decorrentes das ações do tempo. Porém algumas dessas intervenções foram executadas sem embasamento técnico, chegando a comprometer a estrutura física e artística do bem tombado. Por se tratar de um bem tombado, faz-se necessário intervir de maneira a garantir a integridade física, porém, esse tipo de ação é recurso último a ser realizado, quando os procedimentos conservativos já não são suficientes para garantir a perpetuação do bem ao longo do tempo. O que se propõe com este trabalho é analisar as intervenções arquitetônicas realizadas nos prédios históricos Villa Ferreira Lage e Prédio Mariano Procópio e os projetos desenvolvidos para a restauração e recuperação de elementos estruturais, tomando como base os principais conceitos que envolvem a conservação e a restauração do patrimônio cultural; as discussões contemporâneas sobre o assunto e os principais problemas técnicos e teóricos. Pretende-se com esta pesquisa contribuir de forma crítica e histórica para futuros projetos e futuras intervenções. / The Mariano Procopio Museum is one of the most important architectural and artistic examples of Juiz de Fora, also with recognized value to both state and national level. Throughout its history were carried out significant architectural interventions in listed buildings, with the intention to renew, suit the needs of each era and solving problems resulting from time shares. But some of these interventions were performed without technical background and can affect the physical and artistic structure and tumbled. When it is a well fallen, it is necessary to intervene in order to guarantee the physical integrity, but such action is a last resort to be performed when conservative procedures are no longer sufficient to ensure the perpetuation of well over time . What is proposed in this paper is to analyze the architectural interventions in historic buildings Villa Ferreira Lage and building Mariano Procopio and the projects developed for the restoration and recovery of structural elements, based on the key concepts that involve the conservation and restoration of cultural heritage, contemporary discussions on the subject and the main technical and theoretical problems. The aim of this research contribute to critical and historical way for future projects and future interventions.

We all take the natural environment we encounter during childhood as the norm against which we measure environmental degradation later in our lives. With each ensuing generation, the amount of environmental degradation increases, but each generation in its youth takes that degraded condition as the non degraded condition - as the normal experience. This psychological phenomenon is called environmental generational amnesia, and has just recently been stated as one of the most pressing psychological problems of our lifetime. More meaningful and frequent interactions with the natural environment can clarify the confusion about what Nature really is and strengthen our relationship to it, which in turn could encourage us to preserve natural environments for the coming generations. In this way, being in Nature and appreciating it could prevent environmental generational amnesia. The BA-project Towards Recollection aims to raise the question about environmental degradation as a result of environmental generational amnesia and explore how Nature in an urbanscape could be highlighted through a group of architectural interventions and the sensory experiences of Nature, to work as a tool on our journey towards recollection and in the prevention of one of the most pressing psychological problems of our lifetime.
