Socio-spatial groups or whom technical advisory practice serves

Resumo

The concept of socio-spatial groups proposed in this paper aims to provide a criticalreflection on technical advisory research and practices in architecture, urban design and urban planning. Itdesignates groups for whom space is constitutive, and who, conversely, constitute (produce) space. Its premiseis that technical advisory practices – as opposed to assistance – should strengthen group autonomy. The firstsection explains the context of the discussion, and the difference between notions and (theoretical) concepts. Thesecond demonstrates why technical advisory practices have to overcome notions such as client, user, beneficiaryor community. The third explores sociological approaches to social groups, arguing that the concept of sociospatial groups is neither tautological nor merely incremental. The final section illustrates and summarizestechnical advisory approaches that work reflectively with socio-spatial groups, i. e. that possess a concept inorder to understand and to discuss whom they serve.
