Summary:

In the year that commemorates the 50th anniversary of Brasilia, the present work explores the historic antecedents, the events and the polemic arguments around its foundation. Paulista architect Milton Braga analyses the 7 winning projects of the Concurso de Braslia, of the Concurso Nacional do Plano Piloto da Nova Capital do Brasil, which occurred between 1956 and 1957 and defined the city as we know it now. The architects selected were: Lucio Costa, Boruch Milman and his team, Rino Levi and his team, M. M. M. Roberto and his team, Henrique Mindlin and Giancarlo Palanti, Vilanova Artigas and his team and Milton Ghiraldini and his team. Supported by a strong graphic documentation, never before put together in one volume, the author describes, analyses and compares these 7 projects, highlighting the differences between the wining project and the final construction. This fine edition is illustrated with a photographic essay by Nelson Kon, whom with his sensible eye captured the urban and architectonic landmarks of the capital city and includes also historic documents, such as the official declaration of the competition, the jury's acts, the critical commentaries of some noted members from jury commission, the descriptive memoir of Lucio Costa reproduced in a facsimile edition and his study sketches.
