Book launch: Avenida Brasil, Metropolitan Highway

On Saturday, April 5, the Eiffel bookstore will host the launch of the book Avenida Brasil rodovia metropolitana. Por um estatuto contemporâneo do espaço infraestrutural. Winner of the 2023 IAB National Award, the book advocates for the concept of the "metropolitan highway." Based on a case study of the urban segment of the BR-101 highway in Rio de Janeiro, the work explores the road far beyond the notion of mobility, positioning it as a key space for rethinking design and urban planning in Brazilian metropolises and the Global South.
Featuring a rich and extensive iconography, the book includes a Morphological Atlas of Avenida Brasil. This visualization enables the proposal of "design logics between highway and territory" as catalysts for the relationships and spatialities implicit in the interface between infrastructure and human occupation.
The event will feature a conversation between the author, Pedro de Moraes, and Professor Guilherme Lassance, author of the book In-formal. Infraestrutura urbana revisitada, which will also be launched at the event. The discussion will be moderated by architect and urban planner Pedro Sales, a professor at Escola da Cidade.
