Jan Gehl, Pour des villes à échelle humaine
No full textDans cette version traduite en français de son ouvrage de 2010 « Cities for people », Jan Gehl, architecte et urbaniste danois, propose de recentrer l’urbanisme sur les besoins et les perspectives de l’être humain. Pour lui, il faut aménager rues et places des villes à partir des sens, la vue, le toucher, l'ouïe… alors que trop souvent l’urbanisme contemporain, depuis Le Corbusier, a privilégié une échelle plus vaste, comme par exemple à Brasilia, conçue pour être vue de loin et de haut mais ..
A cidade de Jan Gehl : Copenhaga como laboratório urbano
Get PDFDissertação de mestrado integrado em Arquitectura, Universidade Lusíada de Lisboa, 2018.Exame público realizado em 27 de Junho de 2018.A presente dissertação consiste num estudo das ideologias do arquitecto dinamarquês Jan Gehl associado a uma análise da cidade de Copenhaga. Deste modo, propõe-se estudar como a influência de Jan Gehl se reflecte no desenvolvimento de um modo de vida sustentável, com espaços urbanos que suportam a vida urbana e a interacção entre habitantes, numa abordagem vocacionada para o peão em detrimento do automóvel.
Assim sendo, depois de uma breve análise da evolução da cidade desde a Revolução Industrial e os factores determinantes na sua definição, explora-se uma das, senão a mais importante, corrente de pensamento adoptada por muitos arquitectos e urbanistas após a industrialização – o urbanismo moderno – e de como este criou muitos problemas que se tentam resolver hoje em dia.
A influência dos princípios do urbanismo moderno e as suas consequências tanto a nível formal e estrutural, como a nível social, são o ponto de partida e a principal motivação para o trabalho de Jan Gehl, cujo papel na mudança do paradigma do planeamento urbano, de um urbanismo moderno ideológico para uma abordagem focada nas pessoas, é inegável.The present dissertation concerns a study of Jan Gehl’s ideologies, associated with an analysis of the city of Copenhagen. Thus, the investigation sets out to understand how
the influence of Jan Gehl is reflected in the development of a sustainable way of living, through urban spaces that support urban life and interaction between people, with an
approach oriented towards pedestrians to the detriment of the car. Therefore, after a brief analysis on the evolution of the city since the Industrial Revolution and the determining factors in its definition, the study moves onto exploring one of, if not the most important, ideology adopted by architects and urbanists after industrialization – modern urbanism – and how it triggered a lot of the problems that cities are faced with to this day.
The influence of the principles found in modern urbanism and its consequences both formal and structural, as well as social, are the starting point and main motivation for
Jan Gehl’s work, whose role in shifting the paradigm of urban planning from a modern urban ideology to a people-centered approach is undeniable
