Resumen de Lucio Costa: o processo de uma modernidade. Arquitetura e projetos na primeira metade do século XX.
This project deals with the architectural works of Lucio Costa (1902-1998) and his projects built during the decades of the 1920's, 1930's, and 1940's. lnside a historiographical narrativa, we have structured an architectural series through a process of perspectiva by reading about Lucio's mature modernism starting with an analytic montage that describes his first eclectic works.
Without rigorous cataloging and the illustration of various photographs, sketches, and original drawings, our analysis sought to verify the transformation process of architectural criteria consolidated along his almost 30 year practice. Fixture identification, overlap, and elimination of paradigms that arase since his first eclectic works deepened into a national romanticism and neocolonialism which followed after his abrupt conversion to modern vanguard, where he longed to search far maturity through an adaptation of specific characteristics by the traditional means of the Luso-Brazilian.
