Dez casos de Habitação Moderna no Brasil. Dos modos colectivo e familiar

Abstract

This assignment investigates the Brazilian modernist movement essentially concerning the subject of housing based on a set of works visited by the author during one year of studies in Brazil conducted under the university exchange program. The bibliographic research was followed by a long and intensive analytical study process based on rigorous authentic drawings that helped in the assimilation of data and led to reaching conclusions. The analysis undertaken by the methods of architectural drawings imposed issues less evident in the available literature, suggesting new topics for discussion such as the innovation in the forms of living or the interaction between public and private spaces. The appreciation of collective spaces (indoor and outdoor), present across all the works, led to the experimentation of new spatial concepts of high interest that reinforced the installation of a new way of living. The knowledge of the movement, the works and authors was con!rmed and it is believed to have contributed with methodology and usefull results, stimulating for future work.
