Zusammenfassung: | This paper uses the Gulliverian metaphor to examine the organization of a well-known Classical orthogonal planning in Magna Graecia, south Italy. After observing the relationship between the elements of the urban grid of Thourioi, we will propose the application of a modular unit formed by the sum of ten Attic feet by the geometer of its urban plan. According to our main argument here, this module orientated the land-measurement of Thourioi by co-measuring the width of ithe roadway network and width/length of blocks, lots, and "major rectangles". Furthermore, certain alignments in its planning are physically established, as it will be demonstrated in the case of its major roads. Thourioi calls forth through its compositional structure of older formulas a wider horizon of orthogonal planning tradition, an ancient scansion rhythm reified in archaeological patterns of many Greek Western foundations since the VIII century BC. Keywords: Thourioi; Ancient urban planning; Orthogonal technique. O presente artigo trabalha com a metafora de Gulliver para examinar a organizacao de um celebre planejamento ortogonal na Magna Grecia, sul da Italia. Depois de observar as relacoes entre os elementos urbanos da grade de Turio, proporemos uma unidade modular formada pela soma de dez pes aticos aplicada pelo geometra de seu plano urbano. De acordo com nosso principal argumento aqui, este modulo orientou a medicao do terreno em Turio ao dimensionar a largura da malha viaria e largura/comprimento dos blocos, lotes, e modulos quase quadrangulares. Ademais, certos alinhamentos de seu planejamento sao estabelecidos fisicamente, como sera demonstrado no caso de suas principais estradas. Turio traz a tona, por meio de sua estrutura composicional de velhas formulas, um amplo horizonte do planejamento antigo, um ritmo de escansao retificado nos padroes arqueologicos de muitas fundacoes gregas do Ocidente desde o seculo VIII a.C. Palavras-chave: Turio; Urbanismo antigo; Tecnica urbana ortogonal. |
