Projetos urbanos e a “trajetória” do Monumento a Ramos de Azevedo na paisagem paulistana

Abstract

This article compares "guidelines for construction of the place" that foment the relation between belonging 1930’s urban plans Prestes Maia and 1969’s Faria Lima. Both São Paulo’s administrations highlight the legacies of the differents treatments given to the city’s landscape, started with the Monument’s to Ramos de Azevedo case – an integral part of Avenues’ Plan (1930). That one was dismantled, transferred and decontextualized to another distant localization in temporality and significance in Faria Lima’s (1975) management. Disregarding the artifact’s links with its preexisting environment explicit in the design of its creation, with effective losses of meaning, memory and identity. Approximations are established with concepts of the cultural preservation contemporaneous with the plans, judging the currentness of these with the international references to the project.
