This book is the most comprehensive survey and analysis of Brazilian modern architecture to date, written by a young generation of Brazilian architects and historians for an international audience. Examining the works from the 'inside', and with different critical perspectives, they offer new and compelling readings of the country's architecture. Discussing the works of Oscar Niemayer and Lucio Costa, as well as those by less known but equally respected architects such as Affonso Eduardo Reidy, Vilanova Artigas and Jorge Machado Moreira, they show how modernist ideals were incorporated into a country with a legacy of contrasts and contradictions. The nation that saw the creation of of Brasilia, one of the most utopian projects of the Modern Movement, also witnessed the formation of its built environment at one of the fastest rates in the world, while large parts of the population still lived in precarious accommodation.
Charting post-Brasilia developments, Brazil's Modern Architecture describes how architects today have adapted to the conditions of an increasingly polarized society by developing new strategies that are no less creative, even if sometimes less demonstrative. Illustrated with drawings, historical black and white, and new colour photographs, it also portrays the recent works of young practices, such as MMBB Arquitetos and Una Arquitetos, through a series of case studies.

Couverture rigide. Condizione: Très bon. Condizione sovraccoperta: Très bon. Panorama bien utile sur l'architecture brésilienne, fer de lance débridé de l'architecture moderne. 240 pages. État très Bon. Jaquette très bon. Description : "L'architecture du Brésil est étonnamment distincte de l'Amérique latine dans son ensemble et diversifiée en soi. Pourtant, la couverture de l architecture du Brésil du XXe siècle se limite trop souvent à l uvre d un seul homme (Oscar Niemeyer) ou aux bâtiments de deux villes (Rio de Janeiro et São Paulo). Dans L'architecture moderne du Brésil, une nouvelle génération de villes et d'historiens brésiliens remet les pendules à l'heure, en fournissant une étude et une analyse véritablement complètes de l'architecture brésilienne du XXe siècle. Cet ouvrage incarne une réinterprétation vivante de l'architecture brésilienne tout au long du XXe siècle : depuis les premières maisons modernes des années 1920 et les visites marquantes de Le Corbusier dans le pays, en passant par la période « héroïque » bien connue des années 1940-1950. à la crise d'après 1964 et aux développements contemporains. Les uvres sont examinées de « l'intérieur » en expliquant le contexte culturel qui est crucial pour une compréhension véritablement nuancée de l'architecture brésilienne. Avec une originalité audacieuse, ce livre clarifie la relation souvent paradoxale entre l'histoire politique, sociale et économique du Brésil et son développement architectural. Transcendant les conventions du passé, il identifie - avec une perspicacité sans précédent - les avancées architecturales capitales du Brésil du XXe siècle et sa vie historique tumultueuse. Là où les études précédentes ont vu se désintégrer, ce volume illustre les fils de continuité souvent méconnus entre l' uvre architecturale la plus récente et celle de l'ère hautement moderniste du milieu du siècle. l'architecture moderne du Brésil est accessible et suscite la réflexion pour le lecteur, et révolutionnaire pour l'histoire de l'architecture.".
