This dissertation investigates the process of modernization in Campina Grande - PB, and the emergence and diffusion of Brazilian modern architecture in the city, during the decades between the 1940s and 1960s. From a historiographical review of architecture modernity in Brazil already firmed, but which excludes some regions of the country, it proposes confronting external influences with historical, economic, technological and cultural determining factors of the city studied. Reflecting on the incorporation of modern architecture mechanisms and characteristics, it aims to identify agents involved and the perception of the actions on the part of the city´s habitants, disclosing new prospects of reading and understanding the developments of national architecture production outside the major centers of the country. Lastly, this work intends to provide subsidies for documentation and preservation strategies, emphasizing the importance of modern architecture. (AU) | |
