Girassóis de pedra: imagens e metáforas de uma cidade em busca do tempo

Abstract

A partir do estudo da cidade de Palmas, capital do Estado de Tocatins, o desafio fundamental da tese proposta é analisar o imaginário da cidade projetada e implantada, constituída num tempo compactado e, ainda, como esse espaço organizado no tempo ausente apresenta traços e encaixes na realidade do pós-modernismo. Brasília e Palmas são cidades do tempo ausente que, diferente das demais cidades não planejadas ou projetadas, tem o seu espaço-tempo surgido simultaneamente. Compreendemos teoricamente essa compactação ou simultaneidade, como ausência de tempo. A cidade de Palmas foi projetada e surgiu nessa condição de compactação temporal, sua paisagem urbana detem imagens cheias de simbolismos que jogam com a subjetividade do tempo...

The monuments are random temporal maps that represent different periods of time though they are all rather recently made creating an illusion to others perception with the goal of bringing some historic sense to the city. The path to understanding the city and its present/absent temporality on which it has been designed is based on a multiplicity logic that sketches and overlays urban image polysemy...
