Description

This edifice, built between 1937 and 1945, was designed by a team of architects according to the original plans by Le Corbusier. The team consisted of L.Costa, O.Niemeyer, A.E.Reidy, C.Leao, J.M.Moreira and E.Vasconcellos. The gardens were designed by B.Marx, and the glazed tiles of the facade as well as the mural paintings decorating the interior are by C.Portinari. This building was the first deliberate attempt at modern Brazilian architecture and had a decisive influence on all subsequent major developments in architecture in Brazil.
