A comprehensive volume on Modern residential architecture in Brazil featuring 40 houses. Architects whose work is featured include: Oscar Niemeyer, Paulo Mendes da Rocha, Affonso Eduardo Reidy, Jorge Machado Moreira, Juao Walter Toscano, Abrahao Sanovicz, Alvaro Vital Brazil, Rino Levi, and many others. This book will present a selection of the most stunning residential work of Brazil's Modern architects to reveal the ongoing themes and individual interpretations of Brazilian Modernism. Brazilians quickly took the ideas of Modernism founded in Europe and reshaped them for the climate, culture, and technology of the South American continent. The work of these architects shows how these factors quickly became a flexible vocabulary of concrete and glass fashioned for tropical and subtropical settings.
