TRANSATLANTIC IMPRESSIONS: FRANCE-BRAZIL EXCHANGES
Anat Falbel, Guest Editor
FRANCE-BRAZIL round trip. Docomomo Journal, Paris, n. 34, Mar. 2006, p. 49-87
After the special issue on Caribbean modernisms, the new issue of Docomomo Journal, which includes an excellent section dedicated to Brazil's modern architecture investigated under the light of international exchanges, shows that the spread of
the modernist idioms in Central and Latin America is the true mark of an innovative new world. [.]
In this context Brazil is the case study par excellence because the attempt to redefine
national identity under the perspective of progressive politics goes far beyond the limits of architecture as discipline.
