A dialogue is then created in which the hunger for justice begins to give way to the recognition of a cruel reality.

IDEAS
- Brazilian Modern Architectures / lecture series
The course intends to introduce the history of Brazilian modernist architecture and discuss it in relation to the concept of ‘synthesis of the arts’ proposed by critic Mario Pedrosa in 1959. The fourth and final class will address Brasília’s relationship with the visual arts in general and the absence of concrete and neo-concrete artists in its aesthetic conception. The most recent relations between art and architecture linked to ‘post-modern’ and contemporary contexts will also be analyzed.
Speaker: André Leal (architect and Ph.D. student in Visual Arts at PPGAV/EBA/UFRJ)
