This comprehensive guide to modern Brazilian architecture takes us on a tour of over 125 buildings and projects designed between 1928, the year of Gregori Warchavchik's historic Paulista House, and 1960, the year the capital of Brasilia was inaugurated. Works by thirty-three architects, including renowned figures such as Oscar Niemeyer and Paulo Mendes da Rocha and lesser-known architects like Flavio de Carvalho and Lina Bo Bardi, are presented in this guide. Each entry provides photographs, drawings, a brief description, and information on visitor access. When Brazil was Modern is a complete survey of the country's modern architectural legacy, and not only fills a forty year-old bibliographic gap on the subject, but also sheds new light on the aesthetics and social underpinnings of Brazil's modern architecture. By including the unconventional and experimental, author Cavalcanti challenges the very definition of what was modern, in Brazil, the Americas, and elsewhere.

Summary:
Another Reason is a bold and innovative study of the intimate relationship between science, colonialism, and the modern nation. Gyan Prakash, one of the most influential historians of India writing today, explores in fresh and unexpected ways the complexities, contradictions, and profound importance of this relationship in the history of the subcontinent. He reveals how science served simultaneously as an instrument of empire and as a symbol of liberty, progress, and universal reason--and how, in playing these dramatically different roles, it was crucial to the emergence of the modern nation.

Dans ce périlleux exercice, et privés des certitudes anciennes, il nous faut donc redoubler de vigilance pour que l’architecture garde un sens. Une société, autrefois, a été poussée à choisir, en toute connaissance des prouesses techniques et des raffinements décoratifs d’alors, de partir des besoins élémentaires de l’homme, d’étudier les matériaux présents, le climat, et de construire sans ornements, dans la plus stricte et élémentaire logique.
