Abstract

The urban phenomenon has been dealt with from a variety of different points of view and methodological approaches; however, the underlying condition of the experience of living in cities remains elusive to a lot of them. This article intends to bring to the discussion the idea of urban experience through a visual ethnographic approach, transferred from anthropology, opening new ways to problematize the urban issue within the academic context

Keywords:

Architecture , Urbanism , Urban Experience , Visual ethnography , Place
