Description: This seminar will be conducted as a research workshop with the aim of developing publication projects on three principal architects in Brazil's architectural modernity: the urbanist, Lucio Costa, the architect, Oscar Niemeyer, and the landscape architect, Roberto Burle Marx. The first half of the semester will consist of surveying modern architecture in Brazil, which will be followed by a closer look at the work of Costa, Niemeyer, and Burle Marx. In the second half of the semester, we will look into a particular forms of architectural publication, the 'Complete Works' in order to develop a format appropriate to the production of the three figures in question. This will lead to specific research projects that will deal with the archival care of architectural records, 3D modeling of unbuilt projects, and theoretical strategies for interpretive approaches to work.
