The concept of Brasília and its construction put in confront different approaches in Urbanism. This contrast became cristal clear in the stances taken by Costa and Niemeyer. The first one, paying special attention to technic and plastic features, conceived an urban plan for an administrative city. The other, in charge with the proper building work of the capital changed the plan according to architetonic propositions and incorporated some architectural solutions that came from the pragmatism present in the building process. As a meeting point, Brasília, materializes the simbiotic relationship of both creators, developed through conflicts and dialogues.

Em parte, tal desconhecimento se deve a uma concertada operação política-cultural cuja expressão mais evidente, nos últimos tempos, foram as retrospectivas simultâneas, em 2019-20, dos dois Pritzkers, parceiros e amigos em duas das instituições mais influentes de Portugal em termos de arquitetura, ambas sediadas na região do Porto (Siza na Fundação Serralves, Souto de Moura na Casa da Arquitectura). Há mais no panorama contemporâneo português, porém, como mostra o livro recém-lançado pela Dafne Editora: uma frondosa monografia do arquiteto português Diogo Seixas Lopes (1972-2016), editada por seu amigo e interlocutor André Tavares (TAVARES, André e SEIXAS LOPES, Diogo. Arquivo Diogo Seixas Lopes, Porto: Dafne Editora, 2019).

A partir da análise da formação, permanência e transformação das “ilhas” no Porto, em Portugal, estudam-se dois momentos dessa tipologia: o projeto de Álvaro Siza para o Bairro da Bouça e o processo em curso de reabilitação das “ilhas” remanescentes. Palavras-chave: tipologia, preexistência, Aldo Rossi, ilhas do Porto, Álvaro Siza.

Ana Luiza Nobre, Associate Professor of Architectural History at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro and Head of Research and Education at the Instituto Moreira Salles, gazes into her crystal ball and asks what the ongoing legacy of Rio 2016 might be.

While Oscar Niemeyer’s palaces sit on a concrete slab that prevent direct contact with the ground, and the apartment buildings in the so-called superquadras (superblocks) are raised on Corbusean pilotis that keep the ground free, the Bus Station – located exactly at the two intersecting axes that give birth to the new Brazilian capital - merges with the ground, shuffles the boundaries between architecture, landscape and infrastructure and turns out to be almost invisible, both in physical and historiographical terms.
Due to this rooting in the ground and its overall horizontality, the Platform builds an impressive and unmatched modern space, one that seems closely related to an automobile-oriented city and to a notion of landscape that is essentially American.
On closer inspection, however, it is not difficult to find traces of the colonial past of Brazil in the Platform. Particularly when we consider some urban operations that had a profound impact in the landscape of Rio de Janeiro, the former capital which served as administrative core of the Kingdom of Portugal for 13 years (1808-1822).
Our aim here is to explore the possible affinities between Brasília’s Bus Station Platform and infrastructure works related to Portuguese colonial policy in Brazil, from one side, and to a notion of landscape that was growing in the 1960’s in America, from another. To what extent have earthworks that shaped Rio de Janeiro’s landscape in its colonial period fueled the imagination of an architect such as Lucio Costa, and particulary the project of a key work for Brazilian architecture such as the Bus Station Platform of Brasília? To what extent this project reflects the apex and limits of the colonial logic in Portuguese America? And to what extent it recasts an American notion of landscape? Is the limited attention this project has received so far - specially in Northern countries – related to an Eurocentric approach of the Americas that remains rather unchanged? These are some of the questions this paper wants to address, while engaging in the call to rethink colonial and postcolonial cities and landscapes.
