This work proposes an analysis of the São Cristóvão Gasworks, located in the Port Region of Rio de Janeiro. The complex bears witness to an exhausted modernity, covering 12 hectares where historical and physical strata accumulate, drawn into capitalism’s concurrent processes of deterritorialization and reterritorialization. Using philosophical concepts, the aim was to explore new possibilities for the site while also delving into a work process that does not exhaust itself in a project per se.
