I live in this crap! hahaha
anyway, it's true, it's a 'beautiful city', but the 'UX' is horrible, people from much bigger cities likes São Paulo or Rio arrive here and feel like everything is way too far away(even tho you could fit 10 Brasílias inside São Paulo), also, apparently it was made for cars to move through, not people
Me and my friends theorize how this, and other architectural decisions, like the way the city is heavily location/class segregated(specially considering it's the city with the worst case of income concentration of Brazil) affects the people here, they're not as welcoming as they are in other cities we went, in our opinion
- brudgers 14y agoBrasilia was indeed designed based on automotive travel following Corbusian urban design principals. These principles were developed in response to the conditions found in the world's slums using a central planning concept. Gehl's approach came about a generation later (in the U.S. Jane Jacob's Life and Death of American Cities was a response to the centralized approach to improving urban spaces). Both Gehl's and Jacobs may be criticized for failing to address the horrible conditions to which Brasilia (and the CIAM modernists) were responding. 1960's Greenwich Village and Holland don't replicate the conditions of Brazil's favelas*.
