“Use of urban interventions [place-practice] as a discourse for consolidating memory”: A case study of Sharjah cricket playgrounds

Cruz-Megchun, Beatriz Itzel ; Roldán, Juan ;

Article:

This research discusses how expatriates living in Sharjah intervene with the urban landscape through practices that allow them to take possession of that place-space and use it as a discourse to consolidate their identity. A thorough documentation of the urban sprawl of one of the major arteries of Sharjah was used as a means to collect imagery that portrays the human appreciation of the environment. A design-urban intervention was used as a discursive instrument to entitle us to make visible (and thus tangible) the transition from a simple sign of cultural identity into a memory for a collective society.
