And a challenge met head-on by an ambitious aesthetic avant-garde, invested in new design and remarkable engineering.Brazil is a country "condemned to the modern," said the critic Mário Pedrosa, conceiving this condemnation as liberation from tradition and as a freedome to transform what could be done in vain ("em vão") in the effective cultural conquest of the free span ("vão livre").This publication assembles representative projects and works of Brazilian architecture made between 1920 and 2018, among them Oscar Niemeyer, Roberto Burle Marx, PAulo Mendes da Rocha, Sérgio Ferro and Lina Bo Bardi.

The book is structured in six chronological and thematic modules with titles corresponding to outstanding songs of each period. …
