oai:ojs.www.unisinos.br:article-82452021-08-30T19:09:21Z Fernando Corona’s Palace in Pelotas: Innovative, renewing, conservative O Palácio de Fernando Corona em Pelotas: inovador, renovador, conservador Gonsales, Célia In 1938, Fernando Corona, working for the construction company Azevedo Moura & Gertum, designs the Palace of Commerce in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, the new headquarters of the Commercial Association. The building, the highest in the city, is undoubtedly a modern, innovative one and is acclaimed as such. In this project Corona consolidates the architectural principles which were dear to him. As a renewing architect, he uses a language of pure forms and surfaces denuded of ornament. As a conservative architect, he does not give up the timeless principles, the perfect balance of symmetry, the propriety of the urban decorum. The idea of rationalism, a common base of all modern architecture, is used in this study as an indicator for the understanding of the architect’s work and of the “pragmatic modernity” of architecture in general, which is indicated in historiography as a manifestation of non-radical renewal, different from avant-garde modernity. Being pragmatic, without the need for discourse, this architecture renews but always keeps something familiar, something which does not need to be explained, which is already part of an understanding shared by a culture.Keywords: architect Fernando Corona, modern architecture, Palace of Commerce in Pelotas. Em 1938, Fernando Corona, trabalhando para a construtora Azevedo Moura & Gertum, projeta o Palácio do Comércio em Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, a nova sede da Associação Comercial. O edifício, o mais alto da cidade, é sem dúvida um edifício moderno, inovador, e como tal é aclamado. Nesse projeto, Corona consolida os princípios arquitetônicos que lhe eram mais caros. Arquiteto renovador, utiliza uma linguagem de formas puras e superfícies despidas de ornamento. Arquiteto conservador, não abre mão dos princípios atemporais, do equilíbrio perfeito da simetria, da propriedade do decoro urbano. A ideia de racionalismo, base comum de toda a arquitetura moderna, é utilizada neste estudo como balizador de uma compreensão da obra do arquiteto e da arquitetura da “modernidade pragmática” em geral, indicada na historiografia como uma manifestação de renovação não radical, diferente daquela modernidade de vanguarda. Pragmática, sem necessidade de discurso, essa arquitetura renova conservando sempre algo familiar, algo que não precisava ser explicado, que já fazia parte de um entendimento compartido por uma cultura.Palavras-chave: arquiteto Fernando Corona, arquitetura moderna, Palácio do Comércio de Pelotas.
