Hi brutalism modernism* fans!

I will be in São Paulo, Brazil in July/August 2024 and I am considering the opportunity of spending a few days in Brasilia to soak up modernist utopianism. Can anyone chip in with comments/advice/recommendations?

In particular, would two days be enough? What are the must-sees? Any tour recommendations? Concerns about safety/security?

Any advice would be much appreciated. I will of course take lots of photos and post the best ones here!

A little hidden gem .. I just took this pic last week, and later looked it up on the DAC app (Danish Architecture Center). I’d suggest all lovers of modernist architecture download their app DAC for a wealth of knowledge about important architectural history.

Hello!

I am currently writing a paper on the connection between globalism and architecture - I am especially focusing on the attitudes of young people towards classical and globalised architecture.

I have conducted interviews with two teenagers who prefer classical architecture - now I need two teenagers (idealy around 17 years old) who prefer modern architecture and that would be willing to be interviewed.

The interview would be over text, perhaps reddit PM. It is about 10 questions which anyone should be able to answer regardless of experience. I think it would take about 10 minutes to type up all the answers.

You will be anonymous and recieve a copy of the finished work if you would like to.

Please feel free to reach out at any time.
