Ressaltando as diversidades culturais das paisagens que se apropriam de sua obra, Oiticica desdenha as ideias nacionalistas e reacionárias incutidas “[...] de maior floresta do mundo, o maior rio do mundo, o maior não-sei-o-quê do mundo [...]” (OITICICA, 1977 apud AMARAL, 2006, p. 124).

Dossiê: Legado clássico e contemporaneidade: perspectivas

In the preface to the seventh book of De Architectura, Vitruvius presents the sources that underpin his treatise, citing Greek and Roman authors whose reflections he sought to transmit to posterity (per commentariorum relationes cogitata tradere posteris). By acknowledging the importance of these predecessors, the Roman author foregrounds a principle that would profoundly mark the disciplinary field of Architecture in the West: the transmission and continuous reinterpretation and reformulation of the so-called “classical” legacy.

Throughout history, this legacy has been revisited, reinterpreted, and transformed in different contexts. Even the proclaimed rupture of modernity was subsequently revised by various authors, who demonstrated the multiple continuities between the so-called classical tradition and modern architecture. In recent decades, studies on the architectural doctrines of Antiquity and their reception have undergone significant renewal, expanding historiographical and methodological approaches that explore the persistence and transformation of concepts, norms, and forms within architectural doctrine and theory. In this context, such a tradition is no longer understood as a stable repertoire and instead comes to be treated as a dynamic field of critical operations, continuously reinterpreted and reformulated across different historical, cultural, and geographical contexts.

Among the scholars dedicated to investigating these relationships, Mário Henrique Simão D’Agostino stands out, to whom this dossier is dedicated (in memoriam) and whose intellectual production constitutes a decisive contribution to the repositioning of studies in the history and theory of architecture. Mario D’Agostino proposed an approach that privileged the historicity of the fundamental concepts of the discipline, understood not as universal invariants, but as constructions subject to epistemological reconfigurations and rearticulations over time. His studies on Vitruvius reveal the complexity of the relationships between Antiquity, the Renaissance, and Modernity, moving beyond teleological narratives grounded in the idea of rupture. At the same time, by articulating architecture, rhetoric, philosophy, and aesthetics, his work reaffirms the interdisciplinary character of architectural thought and its place within the broader field of the humanities.

In dialogue with these discussions, this thematic dossier aims to gather research investigating the multiple forms of presence, interpretation, and transformation of the classical legacy in architecture and urbanism. Articles addressing, among other aspects, the following themes are welcome:

● the reception, interpretation, and reconfiguration of classical authors and treatises in architectural theory;

● persistence and transformations of the classical tradition in modern and contemporary architecture;

● historiographical studies on the circulation of classical ideas, models, and concepts;

● critical analyses of works, projects, or theoretical debates engaging with the classical repertoire;

● the presence and reappropriation of the classical legacy in architecture and urbanism in Brazil and Latin America.

The dossier seeks to bring together research contributing to the advancement of studies on the classical legacy through innovative historiographical, theoretical, and methodological approaches, capable of articulating tradition and contemporary culture within a critical and global perspective.

Particular welcome will be given to works exploring the reception and transformation of the classical tradition in extra-European contexts, especially in Latin America.
