Iconografia da arquitetura e o desejo de modernidade: a formação da paisagem urbana na construção de Goiânia

Abstract

This research takes a look at the construction of the new capital of the state of Goiás. The discourse of modernity justifies the construction of Goiânia and is consolidated through the disqualification of the old capital Vila Boa de Goiás, representing the new as opposed to the old allowing the diffusion of the modern architecture with a transformation mechanism and allowed the conceptualization of the political ideal of expansion and modernization of the state. Through the traces of Attilio Correia Lima, Armando de Godoy and finally by the group of Coimbra Bueno the ideal capital was born, however another city is born in parallel, outside the urban parameters, a new city with other characters and other representations. In this sense, the work seeks to fill this historical gap in addition to trying to open a space for vocalization for the silenced, because the official history excluded parts of what actually happened, and many authors were committed to a representation regime that hierarchizes and subordinates’ subjects.
