This article begins by reflections on the impacts and transformation in the life of two communities revitalized by sociocultural interventions promoted by the use of colors, in the form of visual art, more specifically, the cities of Medellín, in Colombia, and Santa Catarina de Palopó, Guatemala. From this general framework, the article presents an experience reported from the beginning of a recovery project in a region of the city of Maceió (Alagoas), more precisely the community "Vila Redenção". The project, entitled "Urban interventions in cesmac polygon", is developed by students and professors of the Architecture and Urbanism course of cesmac university center and has the effective participation of the local community and a partner company. The initiative focuses on the use of heuristics in the productions developed, stimulating the creative and inventive capacity of students. This capacity, manifested in artistic expressions, essentially metaphorical, is understood in this article in the light of the concept of blending, or conceptual integration (FAUCONNIER & TURNER, 2002). The article consists, in summary, in the systematization of the report of an ongoing experience, which is instituted as the field of research for the author.
