| Abstract | |
\"Modernity in Hans Broos\" is a study developed from the analysis of the german and brazilian works by architect Hans Broos, between the late 1940s and the 1970s. The postwar german situation is the key context, in which the architect gathers a dense theorical and practical background, and experiences that will form the core of his architectural practice. To this broad and diverse background, he adds the desire of contextualizing his work to the brazilian environment, when arriving here in the early 1950s. This primary encounter with the brazilian architecture of the Carioca School will prove specially fertile, mature and complex when the architect assimilates the main concepts of the Paulista Brutalism, which are bound to the references he attains to his german experience. The focus of the thesis is to show in what dimension his brutalist architecture is aligned to his background\'s concepts, wether by the theoric and indirect way, or by the direct example of the works of master Egon Eiermann. From multiple references, Hans Broos\'s work will also cope with the multifaceted scenario of 1960s and 1970s Paulista Brutalism.
