Abstract

This article refers to a conceptual vocabulary concerning the morphology of the spaces established between road infrastructures and territory, based on an analysis of Avenida Brasil, in Rio de Janeiro. The first part consists of a description of the highway's impact on the metropolitan scenario. Secondly, a review takes place regarding the parameters that led to its spatial formation and consolidation, followed by a description of its territorial situation, informed by historical and contemporary cartography. Finally, articulations are proposed between the different layers that shape the system, pointing to a set of questions drawn from the findings.
