The Federal District office of Iphan did not approve the project submitted by the Federal District Department of Roads (DER-DF) for the reconstruction of the section of the Eixão Sul that collapsed in February of this year, burying two cars and the tables of a restaurant.
The agency responsible for Brazil's artistic and cultural heritage blocked the proposal, claiming that the DER-DF/Novacap project "significantly alters the original architecture and compromises the architectural and urban integrity and, by extension, that of the Plataforma Rodoviária complex and complementary road system."
According to Iphan's report, the main issue with the submitted proposal is the size of the pillars, which are much larger than those of the original design. After consulting the University of Brasília, the Institute recommended that the DF government reduce the dimensions of the concrete supports "as much as possible."
"During a meeting with representatives of the GDF, DER, and Novacap, a new meeting was scheduled for this week to discuss a new proposal that also addresses the area's setting. One of Iphan's goals is to ensure the shared management of Brasília's Urban Ensemble, aiming to preserve the landmarked site and ensure public safety," Iphan stated.
Listed as a national heritage site by Iphan, Brasília is also a UNESCO World Heritage site, making the capital a world heritage landmark.
Trecho do Eixão Sul desaba no centro de Brasília
Parte do Eixão Sul, na região central de Brasília, desabou esta manhã. Duas das três pistas que seguem no sentido norte entraram em colapso e despencaram na altura da Galeria dos Estados, cerca de um quilômetro da rodoviária do Plano Piloto.
