“…The above metaphor of collage dates back at least to the 1970s, when the failures of modernist urbanism were becoming increasingly evident, most obviously in Colin Rowe and Fred Koetter's seminal book Collage City ([1978] 1993). Strongly critical of modernist urbanism, they speak of a "solid-void dialectic" and a "crisis of the object, " suggesting that "it might be judicious, in most cases, to allow and encourage the object to become digested in a prevalent texture or matrix" (Rowe & Koetter [1978] 1993. Indeed, they frame their discussion as an appeal "for the joint existence of […] the private and the public, of innovation and tradition, of both the retrospective and the prophetic gesture" ([1978] 1993, 8).…”

“…To take just one example, Cullen's section entitled "The Line of Life" (Cullen 1961, 111-119) uses an analysis of Brixham and other seaside towns to suggest that the physical expression of the "lines of force" which arise from the place's origins and functions are what gives it intelligibility, structure, and character. Townscape's subsequent characterisation as a formalist school of urban design - Rowe andKoetter ([1978] 1993, 33) label it "a cult of English villages, Italian hill towns and North African casbahs" -is a misreading, perhaps partly rooted in the fact that Cullen's work is chiefly known through The Concise Townscape (Cullen 1971), a later edition comprising just two of the four sections from the original book, and omitting the great majority of modern architectural imagery.…”

This paper considers some aspects of the way historic public space is understood in England, drawing on a selection of relevant guidance and research published by Historic England. This builds a picture of how public spaces are dealt with in official heritage publications in England, and how this relates to international discussion, particularly the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) approach. This is followed by some reflections on figure-ground mapping, which leads to a brief discussion of the “Townscape” campaign of The Architectural Review. The paper concludes with reflections on the implications for conservation arising from broader perception of city as cultural landscape.

Pretende problematizar o referencial de cidade utilizado atualmente pelo ensino de urbanismo e defender uma alternativa que possa ajudar a enfrentar os desafios colocados pelos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) da ONU, quando aplicados à realidade urbana latino-americana, marcada por forte desigualdade e segregação socioespacial. Para tanto, parte de uma análise crítica de intervenções urbanísticas realizadas na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, traçando um elo com o ensino de urbanismo praticado no curso que constitui ainda hoje importante referência curricular no Brasil. A argumentação em defesa de um paradigma alternativo de cidade para o ensino de urbanismo recorre ainda a resultados de pesquisa anterior baseada na hipótese da pertinência de uma releitura de projetos do urbanismo moderno para lidar com os desafios da cidade contemporânea e a questão da integração de seus componentes infraestruturais. Como resultados dessa análise crítica de paradigmas, destaca diversas questões a respeito da aplicabilidade e até mesmo contradição de alguns ODS. Conclui, então, sobre a urgência de uma revisão dos referenciais de projeto utilizados no ensino de urbanismo , defendendo a pertinência de uma abordagem mais integrada entre arquitetura, urbanismo, infraestrutura e território que um olhar menos preconceituoso com as lições do urbanismo moderno permitiria construir.

“…Rowe pointed out that the villa had grown over time, by a process of accretion and overlay; it did not result from a single grand design. Rowe proposed that urban design be done in smaller projects by different designers, adding up to a new city, rather than in one great scheme (Rowe and Koetter 1978). His work influenced many architects in the late 20th century, from James Stirling to Aldo Rossi, Robert Venturi, Oswald Matthias Ungers, Peter Eisenman, and Michael Graves, who all looked at the past to find answers for contemporary design challenges.…”
