"Rather than glorifying the phenomenon of popular modernism or holding it up to the paradigmatic examples of good architecture, this book serves as a bridge to understand the complexities of the phenomenon's location and context as well as how popular and how modern buildings labeled popular modernist really are." "Defining the phenomenon of popular modernism in architecture, Fernando Luiz Lara introduces its characteristic place and time. Based on an analysis of five hundred photographs, Lara then describes the physical characteristics of modernist buildings, locating popular modernism within the context of the challenges faced by architecture. Readers begin to discover how the meanings of modernism are specifically manifested in Brazil within the larger context of Latin American and global modernism."--Jacket.
