UNDER THE ARCHES OF “BEIRA VALÃO”
LANDSCAPE OF THE CAMPOS-MACAÉ CANAL, CAMPOS DOS GOYTACAZES/RJ
Abstract
Landscape observation drawings of the Campos-Macaé Canal in Campos dos Goytacazes/RJ, considered the second largest artificial canal in the world. Better known as “Beira Valão”, the Canal has a strong presence in the daily life of campers, largely due to its geographical position, as it is located in the city center and Avenida José Alves de Azevedo, which borders the Canal, is a connecting axis for almost the entire territory of the municipality. The Canal has historical, conceptual and symbolic importance for the municipality, which is why it was listed as a historical heritage site in 2002.
The flowering of the yellow ipês trees is the highlight for anyone walking along the Campos-Macaé Canal, creating a special postcard in spring and decorating Avenida José Alves de Azevedo, close to Roberto Silveira Bus Station.
The drawings were produced to illustrate the author's doctoral thesis, completed in 2023 at PROARQ/UFRJ, entitled "SOB OS ARCOS DA BEIRA VALÃO: Stereotypes of buildings in the landscape of Canal Campos-Macaé, Campos dos Goytacazes/RJ".
