Num Pages: 280 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 1KLSB; AM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 17. Weight in Grams: 588.
Architecture of Brazil: 1900-1990 examines the processes that underpin modern Brazilian architecture under various influences and characterizes different understandings of modernity, evident in the chapter topics of this book. Accordingly, the author does not give overall preference to particular architects nor works, with the exception of a few specific works and architects, including Warchavchik, Niemeyer, Lucio Costa, and Vilanova Artigas.
