Architecture as Civil Commitment: Lucio Costa's Modernist Project for Brazil

  • Type: Book

  • Publisher: Routledge

Architecture as Civil Commitment analyses the many ways in which Lucio Costa shaped the discourse of Brazilian modern architecture, tracing the roots, developments, and counter-marches of a singular form of engagement that programmatically chose to act by cultural means rather than by political ones. Split into five chapters, the book addresses specific case-studies of Costa’s professional activity, pointing towards his multiple roles in the Brazilian federal government and focusing on passages of his work that are much less known outside of Brazil, such as his role inside Estado Novo bureaucracy, his leadership at SPHAN, and his participation in UNESCO’s headquarters project, all the way to the design of Brasilia. Digging deep into the original documents, the book crafts a powerful historical reconstruction that gives the international readership a detailed picture of one of the most fascinating architects of the 20th century, in all his contradictory geniality. It is an ideal read for those interested in Brazilian modernism, students and scholars of architectural and urban planning history, socio-cultural and political history, and visual arts.

A cidade-atração

A cidade-atração investiga os programas e projetos que, a partir dos anos 1990, incorporaram o patrimônio de cidades brasileiras como um ativo urbano destinado a contribuir para a transformação de quadros de desvalorização econômica e de uso e apropriação popular. Com base em processos deflagrados nas áreas centrais de Salvador, Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo, busca compreender os sentidos subjacentes à proliferação e à banalização de práticas preservacionistas e apontar outras possibilidades socialmente mais significativas de uso do patrimônio urbano.
