In Sao Paulo, the city's informal occupations such slums and social movements pro-dwelling appear in mainstream media as objection to the implementation of urban plans for recovery of degraded areas of the city. But the hypothesis of this research proposes the opposite of this idea and invested in the possibility that the urbanism in Sao Paulo is fueled by the semiotic dialogue between the formal and informal, and the informality is the catalytic element in the assimilation and interaction between apparently distant texts in the cultural mosaic arrangement of the city. This study aims to verify how dialogical relationships between formality and informality increases cultural capacity, mainly in cities whose cultural series tend to be given in open spaces, streets and public areas. The study is based on the approach of the concept of border, proposed by Yuri Lotman, author of fundamental studies of the semiotics of culture, through which it was possible to understand border as a field of translation and dialogue, and not as separation or limit . Also recovered were the concepts of authors who analyze no-binary relations in urban spaces, such as Amalio Pinheiro, Boaventura Sousa Santos, François Laplantine, among others. São Paulo was chosen as the main body of analysis due its relevance as Latin America metropolis, besides the emotional and geographical proximity to the researcher, allowing for diligent immersion in the environments chosen for analysis. Another specific issue is the possibility of combining analytical procedures of the Baroque Latin American literary and urbanist settings. Authors such as Severo Sarduy, Alejo Carpentier and José Lezama Lima propose that the Latin American baroque, more than a stylistic procedure is considered as non-binary syntactical system appropriate for the diffuse and decentralized information environment of our continent. In addition to field research, and photographic records, the researcher worked on interviews for a documentary about living in modernist buildings in Brazilian cities, a practice that has proved instrumental in the rapprochement process between theory and object. Based on the analyses undertaken, it was possible to understand that the ability to move between the formal and informal relationships are definitely incorporated as communication in urban spaces in São Paulo, and that these transits occur more by cultural skills than by socio-economic reasons. We believe that these findings can be verified with desirable variables, in other Latin American cities
