CIDADE E CIDADANIA (BRASÍLIA, TRAJETÓRIA DE UMA INVENÇÃO)

Abstract

Lúcio Costa makes sense by bringing together the public and the private without hierarchy and subordination, it is evident in the risk where the axes cross and complete each other on an equal footing. The confrontation with the alternative risk in the elaboration process shows the reasons for the axial linearity adopted. The work goes through milestones of Western traditions in order to think if there is the fact that drawing has not overcome the contradictions and the attitude of indifference prevails, insisting on subverting and mutilating the city, highlights the utopian character of the project: the aspiration to humanize living still remains a promise.
