This article looks at temporality, spatiality and action in the contemporary city, based on the concept of Urban Porosity. This is understood as a conditioner of urbanity; it is referenced by urbanist Bernardo Secchi, who defends the importance of seeking to maintain osmotic relations with the various contexts in the process of daily transformation, as well as sociologist Richard Sennett, who complements him on the relevance of building open cities, through membranes of permeability. Thus, pores and membranes are understood here from material and immaterial parameters in the composition of the urban sphere and treated from a phenomenological reading, where narratives and morphologies are identified throughout the history of certain contexts, and cut out as moments of spatio-temporal inflection with the aim of understanding the various layers in the urban landscape. These are approaches that shed light on the concept of urban typology and other possible logics for building and transforming the city, based on the solidary sociability of the diversity of worlds, boosting the process of identity and rootedness, as a collective construction, in other words, in contact with the other.
