	MARCH 12 - 13, 2009 – YORK UNIVERSITY, TORONTO, CANADA “Lumpen-City: discourses of marginality/ marginalinzing discourses”, organizada pelo The York University Sociology Graduate Students' Association (YSGA), in conjunction with the City Institute at York University and the Collaborative Urban Research Laboratory (CURL) “How can design education contribute to illuminate issues of homelessness representation?”, que discutiu a contribuição da educação em design para os aspectos de representação de temas como populações marginais e moradores de rua e a superação do estigma e discriminação dessas populações. Abstract - There has been little research on homelessness and architecture and design. This paper is a reflection on these issues and on the material aspects of the homeless’ culture and survival strategies in the urban areas of Brazil, mainly in São Paulo municipality. The material environment of the homeless culture is constructed from the trash of our technological and industrialized culture, creating plastic and cardboard cities that touch upon our daily life. Facing the experience of diving vertiginously into the shadows, into the depth of the material that allows the construction of a fragile habitat, moved by the need of shelter, homeless people have transformed the concept of the city and with some of their survival strategies, such as recyclable material collection, they are performing a relevant public service and environmental protection. The collectors have engaged in the development of an environmental protection economy as they clean the city of São Paulo and other cities in Brazil. Despite their efforts, the recyclable material collectors are not properly recognized by the whole society and directly or indirectly they work for someone else and frequently companies profit from their work. Design could collaborate from different perspectives in transforming their image so they may be seen as a relevant asset. The paper will analyze some design educational experiences and practices performed at the University of São Paulo and its relation to re-situate homelessness and recyclable material collectors representation.
