Social interaction, Superblock, Neighborhood unitAbstract
As Lúcio Costa says, superblocks are the “root” of the Pilot Plan of Brasilia. The aggregation of two pairs of contiguous superblocks defines a neighborhood unit. The existence of different functional programs identifies the scale of “neighborhood”. Although this naming is not part of the local
vocabulary, it defines a perimeter of accessibility to facilities, commercial places and services located nearby. The spaces that support the social encounters between the residential population were “created” by Lúcio. The inspiration comes, initially, from the colonial city of Diamantina, passing through the study of “luso” traditions which the architect held in Portugal. 50 years after
the inauguration of the capital, the paper takes a look at the Lúcio Costa’s priorities defined in the urban plan and the priorities pointed out by those who inhabit the “wings” of the Pilot Plan.
