SUMMARY:

In the context of a contemporary pedagogical perspective on learning in a university environment, the literature indicates that the distribution of transition spaces in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) can offer support to student activities, helping to stimulate informal learning that takes place beyond the classrooms. In Architecture and Urbanism, traditionally the term “transitional spaces” is used in the sense of the immediate street-building relationship, but more recently it has also started to cover parts of the internal area of buildings, although there is still no consensus on a categorization of these spaces, nor on a structural matrix that analyzes their socio spatial characteristics. This gap is especially evident in institutions that maintain courses with equivalent practical and theoretical workloads, such as the Undergraduate Courses in Architecture and Urbanism (UC-AU). To support the formulation of the problem, three generic questions were established, which took on the role of starting questions focused on similarities and differences in these spaces depending on the HEIs. As a provisional answer, the thesis under development argues that: although users and physical elements are different and replaceable in each HEI, the socio-spatial behavioral relationships in the UC-AU transition spaces remain basically the same (working hypothesis). Thus, the general objective is to identify and describe the environmental characteristics of the UC-AU transition spaces of Brazilian HEIs, to investigate their educational and creative potential. Derived from this formulation, the specific objectives encouraged the development of the chapters that present the research results. To achieve them, the investigation used multi-method and spatial ethnography strategies, based on a multiple case study that combined a panel of experts, semi-structured interviews, documentary and field surveys (with route recording and naturalistic observation). 37 teachers and 28 Brazilian UC-AU students participated, grouped according to the length of professional experience and institutional affiliation, respectively. The data analysis revealed a wide variety of perceptions and experiences, requiring a systemic analysis to discuss the phenomena, covering techniques linked to the text (discursive), the creation of montages and scale matrices. The identification of metaphors stands out, both to understand the participants' preliminary reports and to classify the cases studied into five typologies. In total, 21 UC-AU were visited in national HEIs, of which ten were selected for in depth analysis, considering a matrix proposition that studies the system of transition spaces from macro- and microscale analysis. The results achieved so far demonstrate that the production of montages brings together narrative and image data under the same theme, as well as the creation of maps, plans and perspectives, enabling a panoramic and associative view of the contexts and concepts worked on. It is expected that the final analysis will contribute to identifying potential elements of transition spaces that can support learning in UC-AU.
