Resumo: | Through this article, we intend to discuss the Brasilia Pilot Plan project, elaborated by Lúcio Costa, in order to understand it beyond modern urban paradigms, as a palimpsest of older urban forms, which persevered under the silhouette of these most recent references. In this regard, we are not particularly interested in whether the adoption of certain forms was conscious and intentional from the initial guidelines or whether they intuitively arose throughout the design process (since it is not possible to evaluate the deliberations of Lúcio Costa’s psychological intimacy), but only if they share space organizations already experimented with in traditional models of cities. The simple fact that certain urban forms survive in the face of modernity imperatives seems to be a symptom of their latent vigor. Analyzing Brasília from this perspective, therefore, restores the importance of mimesis as a force that connects citizens and history to urban design. In this sense, we point to issues of quite different scales, ranging from the mystique of the site of the capital, through the general lines that determined the silhouette of the set (two orthogonally crossed axes), to specific issues regarding the fortified conformation of the ministerial esplanade, and even of the dimensioning of the residential sectors. Although these notes are presented as a hypothesis, they appear in the light of a literature review and comparative methodology, enabling a desired expansion of the discussion. |

Nesse intuito, não nos interessa particularmente se a adoção de determinadas formas foi consciente e intencional desde as diretrizes iniciais ou se surgiram intuitivamente ao longo do processo de projeto (visto não ser possível avaliar as deliberações da intimidade psicológica de Lúcio Costa), mas apenas se comungam de organizações espaciais já experimentadas em modelos tradicionais de cidades. O simples fato de certas formas urbanas sobreviverem frente a imperativos de modernidade parece sintoma de seu vigor latente. Analisar Brasília sob essa perspectiva restitui, por conseguinte, a importância da mimese como força que conecta cidadãos e história ao desenho urbano. Nesse sentido, apontamos para questões de escalas bastante distintas, que vão da mística do sítio da capital, passando pelas linhas gerais que determinaram a silhueta do conjunto (dois eixos cruzados ortogonalmente), até questões pontuais a respeito da conformação fortificada da esplanada ministerial, e mesmo do dimensionamento dos setores residenciais. Ainda que esses apontamentos se apresentem como hipótese, comparecem à luz de uma revisão bibliográfica e metodologia comparativa, possibilitando uma desejada ampliação da discussão.Universidade Estadual de Londrina2022-02-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/article/view/4260710.5433/1984-3356.2021v14n28p601Antíteses; Vol. 14 No. 28 (2021): Revista Antíteses, vol. 14, n. 28, jul-dez, 2021; 601-636Antíteses; v. 14 n. 28 (2021): Revista Antíteses, vol. 14, n. 28, jul-dez, 2021; 601-6361984-3356reponame:Antítesesinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/article/view/42607/31153Copyright (c) 2021 Antítesesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarbosa, Lucas Jordano de Melo2022-04-13T17:28:30Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/42607Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antitesesPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/oaiantiteses@uel.br||1984-33561984-3356opendoar:2022-04-13T17:28:30Antíteses - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false |
