Colors, culture, connectivity: Brazil\u2019s architectural legacy is a vibrant composition painted by tradition, foreign influence and radical modernism, all situated within a vast tropical landscape. Home to numerous heritage sites, Brazil\u2019s vernacular architecture is attributed to its Indigenous communities. Meanwhile, a European undertone is still prevalent today in cities like S\u00e3o Paulo and Salvador, and especially in Ouro Preto \u2014 a city recognized today as a goldmine for architectural monuments.<\/p>\n

When it comes to modernist experimentation and innovation, Brazilian architects are global trailblazers. From the establishment of the modernist city Bras\u00edlia to the free-flowing mammoths in the nation\u2019s existing metropoles, Brazil\u2019s modernist history cannot be told without recognizing architects like Oscar Niemeyer<\/a>, L\u00facio Costa and Lina Bo Bardi<\/a>. A distinct new architectural language emerged in 20th-century Brazil, defined by concrete, minimalism<\/a> and functionality that notably moved away from the previously strong Eurocentric influences. And today\u2019s contemporary designs continue to uphold this modernist legacy<\/a>. Brazilian architects of today are known to embrace an architectural language that champions minimalism<\/a>, innovation and, most importantly, the stunning tropical Brazilian outdoors<\/a>.<\/p>\n
