Resumo: Cianorte and Angélica are two new towns planned in Brazilian hinterlands’ pioneering agricultural colonization zone. Both designed in the early 1950s, each one is linked to a specific town planning tradition: Cianorte late resonated the notion of the city as a work of art, alongside with some features of the garden city; Angélica early exemplified in Brazil the rationalist urbanism for a functional city. By contrasting the urban forms of the two cities, this paper explores the adopted design strategies, and points out their potentialities and weaknesses. As a result, this morphological study unveils, on the one hand, the layout of a town according to classical precepts of composition and the creation of a unique townscape; and, on the other hand, the configuration of a radically modern, functionally standardized and uniform town. In both cases the adopted design strategy impacted the development of the urban form: in Angélica, the land use pattern and the built form did not follow the revolutionary, modernist configuration of the morphological elements; in Cianorte, the urban growth ignored the city-beautiful layout and did not materialize the planning proposals.

Ambas traçadas nos primeiros anos da década de 1950, cada uma delas se filia a uma tradição urbanística específica: Cianorte fez ressoar tardiamente a noção da cidade como obra de arte, conjugada com princípios formais do ideário cidade jardim; Angélica concretizou precocemente no país o urbanismo racionalista da cidade funcional. Contrastando as duas formas urbanas, este trabalho explora as estratégias adotadas por seus projetistas e trata de apontar potencialidades e fragilidades destes traçados. Como resultado, este estudo morfológico revela, por um lado, a conformação de uma cidade moldada por preceitos clássicos de composição e a criação de uma paisagem urbana única, e, por outro, de uma cidade radicalmente moderna, funcionalmente padronizada e uniforme. Nos dois casos, a estratégia projetual repercutiu no desenvolvimento da forma urbana: em Angélica o uso e a ocupação do tecido urbano não se sujeitaram à configuração modernista e revolucionária dos elementos morfológicos; em Cianorte, o crescimento urbano ignorou o projeto da cidade bela e deixou de materializar o urbanismo proposto.Portuguese-Speaking Network of Urban Morphology2017-07-31T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.47235/rmu.v5i1.5oai:ojs2.revistademorfologiaurbana.org:article/5Revista de Morfologia Urbana; Vol. 5 No. 1 (2017): Volume 5 n.1; 5-13Revista de Morfologia Urbana; v. 5 n. 1 (2017): Volume 5 n.1; 5-132182-7214reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttp://revistademorfologiaurbana.org/index.php/rmu/article/view/5https://doi.org/10.47235/rmu.v5i1.5http://revistademorfologiaurbana.org/index.php/rmu/article/view/5/4Leão Rego, RenatoHollatz, AndryaCardoso, GustavoTavares, Mariainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-09-06T09:36:47Zoai:ojs2.revistademorfologiaurbana.org:article/5Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:34:22.330704Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
