Description
Summary:From the 20th century onwards, the City Administration of São Paulo began to formulate plans that guided the policy for public green areas. In this article we discuss the changes observed in two different experiences that occurred respectively in 1974 and 2014. The analysis here is divided into two perspectives: 1. historical indicators, through a review of official documents; and 2. design indicators, which examine the design practices of the architects involved in each experiment analyzed. To do so, a description is provided on how the indicators were formulated, as well as their use in this analysis. The results show a historical trend of progressive emphasis on environmental conservation and preservation and of diminishing the importance of the social role of parks and urban green areas, leading to significant changes in the role of architectural design for urban free areas.
