Urban space, place of music, human space

Abstract

This paper discusses the place of music in urban spaces: how urban spaces can serve music, and how music can serve urban spaces. Historically, this relationship has been established since the medieval squares developing throughout the 19th century in coretos and places for musical performances. In addition, it is also related to the aesthetic typologies of public and private gardens, from the French, English, to the said organic garden developed by Roberto Burle Marx. Nowadays, several languages have permeated the occupation of urban spaces, like Burle Marx himself, who integrated a visual language to his projects. However, some challenges remain in the occupation of urban spaces articulated to music.
