Desarrollos urbanos paralelos: Leonardo Da Vinci – Étienne Cabet

Abstract:

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) personifies the ideal humanist of the universal knowledge. He is also considered to be as one of the Renaissance geniuses and artists. His most known dimension is that of a painter, although to a lesser extent he contributed excellently to the fields of architecture, urban morphology and rehabilitation. His greatest study within the urban studies is his cittá idéale where he exposes his idea of a new city breaking with the traditional urban models. This one presents similarities with that of the utopic city of Icaria, described by the writer Étienne Cabet (1788-1856), in his novel titled Voyage en Icarie and published in Paris in1840. The current article describes the actual resemblances between both proposals, published in different worlds with a difference of 355 years and with only a connection which is the city of Paris.Keywords: Leonardo, Paris, Renaissance, urban morphology, utopia.
