Abstract

Ao longo do século XX, mais precisamente entre 1930 e 1960, afirmar a independência do Brasil ganhou contornos de um projeto político e cultural que urdiu a Arquitetura Moderna Brasileira e definiu precisos marcos de fundação (Ministério da Educação e Saúde Pública, MESP) e ocaso (Brasília). A identidade brasileira, construída sob a herança lusa, justificavam a aproximação e as trocas culturais entre Brasil e Portugal, num refluxo que mais adiante causaria alguma náusea. Analisamos a crítica nacional e internacional exposta em livros, revistas e atas de congressos acerca da Arquitetura Moderna Brasileira em contraponto ao enquadramento político internacional, concluindo por compreender o peso das decisões políticas sob as críticas e o lugar reservado a Brasília na história arquitetónica e urbanística. Throughout the 20th century, more precisely between 1930 and 1960, asserting Brazil’s independence be-came a political and cultural project that led to Bra-zilian Modern Architecture and established accurate landmarks as Ministry of Education and Public Health (MESP) and Brasília. The Brazilian identity, built on Portuguese heritage, justified the approximation and cultural exchanges between Brazil and Portugal, in an ebb that would later cause some nausea. We ana-lyse the national and international criticism exposed in books, magazines and congress proceedings about Brazilian Modern Architecture in counterpoint to the international political framework, concluding by un-derstanding the weight of political decisions under the criticism and the place reserved to Brasília in the archi-tectural and urbanistic history.
