A presente tese investiga a produção arquitetônica moderna em São Luís do Maranhão, Brasil, entre 1930 e 1960. Busca-se compreender a materialização da imagem da autoridade do Estado, com destaque desde a gestão de Getúlio Vargas (1930-1945) até à inauguração da nova Capital Federal, Brasília (1960), pelo Presidente Juscelino Kubitscheck (1956-1960). Este recorte caracteriza-se pela disseminação dos princípios do Movimento Moderno no Brasil e pelas intervenções arquitetônicas e urbanísticas promovidas pelo Estado. Este intervalo traz marcas da implantação de planos urbanísticos que definiram o desenho de novas avenidas e a ampliação da malha viária em novos eixos de movimento. Para que essas transformações fossem executadas, diversas edificações foram demolidas: casarões coloniais e ecléticos. Nos vazios urbanos surgiram novas soluções espaciais com outro vocabulário arquitetônico. Na contemporaneidade, a linguagem moderna permanece desvalorizada em relação à colonial, há um lento processo de descaraterização, aliado à ausência de legislação de proteção adequada, o que causa o prematuro desaparecimento do acervo. Realiza-se um estudo sistemático apoiado numa metodologia não intervencionista, de base qualitativa e quantitativa, que privilegiou uma abordagem histórica, descritiva e de caráter exploratório de edificações presentes na Rota do Moderno, para verificar a importância dessa arquitetura num território fortemente marcado pela linguagem colonial. Conclui-se que, a Rota do Moderno tem vindo a sofrer profundas descaracterizações.
ABSTRACT: The research of the modern architectural production assembled in São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil, between 1930 and 1960, is the focus of this study. The timespan comprehends the materialization of the image of State authority, with an emphasis on the beginning of Getulio Varga´s administration (1930-1945) to the inauguration of Brasília as the national capital (1960), by the end of the political mandate of Juscelino Kubitscheck (1956-1960). This approach is characterized by the dissemination of Modern Movement principles in Brazil and the architectural and urban interventions promoted by the State. As in other state capitals of Brazil, in São Luís this period was also highlighted by the elaboration and establishment of urban plans that defined the design of new avenues and the expansion of the road network that redesigned new traffic axes. In order to make these transformations effective several buildings were demolished: colonial and eclectic houses. In these urban voids, freed from the former buildings, new spatial solutions have emerged based on the new architectural vocabulary. These buildings reinforced the traffic axes, allowing their insertion with the consolidated urban fabric. Nowadays, modern architectural language remains devalued compared to the colonial one, causing a slow process of disfiguration that, together with the absence of adequate protective legislation, has in some cases led to its premature disappearance. Identifying and valuing this architectural heritage is the objective of this research. For that, a systematic study is carried out based on a non-interventionist methodology, with a qualitative and quantitative basis, which privileged a historical, descriptive and exploratory approach to buildings present in the Modern Route, in order to verify the importance of the architecture of the XX century in a territory strongly characterized by the colonial language.
