| Abstract | |
This thesis investigates how the process of \"diffusion\" and/or \"reception\" of Brazil\'s Modern Architecture\" has been read by historiography, especially by graduate studies that have explored the issue. Resuming the dominant narrative of Brazil\'s Modern Architecture and, in particular identifying its shortcomings, it is possible to highlight the difficulty in incorporating to this narrative the relationship between architecture, culture, city and techniques. Although the significant amount of works around the theme of \"diffusion\", a reflection on the complex mode of appropriation by market mechanisms, values, shapes and technical procedures and spatial solutions developed by scholarly production was not achieved. To understand the scope and significance of the process of Brazil\'s Modern Architecture \"diffusion/reception\", it is necessary to overcome a reading of \"irradiation\" from the Escola Carioca, and to reflect on a cultural more complex process that allowed broad and significant extracts of Brazilian society to have the modern value and the imagery of Brazil\'s Modern Architecture of Le Corbusier root as one of its strongest performances, in a period generally referred as 1950-60.
