Abstract

The research entitled “Architecture of Fear and the local landscape in two neighborhoods in the municipality of Vila Velha - ES: Praia da Costa and Boa Vista I”, one considered elite and the other, popular, presents as its main objective to analyze how the "architecture of fear" is present considering the social and economic level of its residents. It deals with a survey on the houses that change with the implementation of grids, high walls, wire, cameras, in order to enable greater security for its inhabitants, making the urban space hostile and segregating. Thus, it is a problematic: are the patterns of fear architecture the same in an elite neighborhood and a popular neighborhood? It presents as methodology the case study with comparative analysis between the two neighborhoods with socioeconomic differences and qualitative and quantitative approach. The Theoretical Framework is based on renowned authors such as: Amaral (2018), Bauman, (2009), Burke (2002), Caldeira (2000), Gomes (2009), Lira (2017), Mattos (2013), among others. This study is justified by the researcher's concern about the "architecture of Fear, which touches the unequal, segregationist, hostile and individualistic urban space. The Technical Product, in the form of an Elucidative Booklet discusses the fortified enclaves that have emerged in the cities, which makes the urban landscape fragmented and hostile, replacing freedom, tolerance and respect for differences.
