Lina Bo Bardi si è occupata della progettazione di tre insediamenti rurali in Brasile, mai realizzati, caratterizzati da impianti definiti da chiare figure geometriche: il cerchio e il quadrato. Il primo, del 1951, riguarda un complesso urbano composto da una casa economica di stessa tipologia e da due edifici ‘indefiniti’; il secondo, del 1965, ha un impianto morfologico costituito da lotti circolari nei quali, nelle curve astroidi, sono disegnati lotti più piccoli anch’essi circolari; il terzo si basa sul principio di lotti circolari sui quali insistono abitazioni di forma quadrata. La rappresentazione, nell’indissolubile rapporto tra disegno e progetto, fornisce alla storia e alla critica architettonica inediti files di immagini di città o di parti di essa e induce a ricostruire episodi della storia dell’architettura.

Abstract

Lina Bo Bardi designed three rural settlings in Brazil; they was unbuilt but defined with clear geometric shapes: the circle and the square. The first project, in 1951, was an urban plant constituted by the same type of low-cost houses and by two ‘undefined’ buildings; the second project, in 1965, had a morphological system formed by circular lots in which, in the “astroidi” curves, were smaller circular lots; the third project is based on the principle of circular lots on which insist square shape houses. The representation, into relationship between drawing and design, offers the history and the criticism new images of cities with digital models building episodes of the architectural history.
