The concepts of residual space and terrain vague are appointed by sociological, urban and anthropological studies as important elements in the urban scenario, necessary to make a creative, a break in the official system of the city. Such residual conformation is both material and semiotical (or informational) and is directly linked to the codified systems trying to control it. The higher the rationalization, or the more imposing this action is, the higher is the number of residues created, the higher is entropy. Hence, the notion of residue may be used not only as an adjective to the constitution of the geographical site, but also as a concept of communication, contemplating the possibility of new configurations from fragments of apparently distant texts. This study aims to comprehend the generation and appropriation modes of residues in urban spaces through the relations among language systems, understood as communicational elements. The study is based on the approach of Cultural Semiotics, specifically as regarded in the concepts of semiosphere proposed by Iuri Lotman and of baroque, understood as a means of cultural organization deriving from the proposition established by Severo Sarduy, Alejo Carpentier and Amálio Pinheiro, among others. Based on such concept, we may notice that higher richness and complexity are achieved the higher a system s capability to generate and appropriate communicational residues is. A comparative methodological proposal was established based on this concept, including studies by authors who analyze the communicational relations in urban spaces of Europe and the USA, such as Manuel Delgado, Kevin Lynch, Ignasi de Solà-Morales, Denise Scott-Brown and Brazilian authors like Ermínia Maricato, Lucrécia D´Alessio Ferrara e Nelson Brissac. São Paulo was chosen as the main corpus of our analysis due to its relevance as a Latin-American metropolis and, at the same time, because it possesses elements that allow us to expand the conclusions reached for the comprehension of residual spaces in other big cities. We analyzed over 100 real state advertisements in the city of São Paulo, placed in 2004, to study how the semiotical construction of the physical space of control operates. For the specific study of residual spaces, a field research was carried out in communities belonging to two areas of the city of São Paulo, encompassing the changes suffered during the years 2004 to 2006. Based on the analyses undertaken, it was possible to understand that residues, since they no longer belong to any organized system, are unstable, volatile elements that provide a situation of potentiality and instability, but of availability as well. The distinct ways of appropriating information, spaces and residual objects in the city require an intense capability to adapt and create new language systems which are often ignored in studies that prioritize the context of economic fragility and social exclusion where such systems are inserted
