Through a sensorial reading of Brazilian modernism to challenge the generic, if not austere, appeal of Berlins modernist housing complexes, this book intends to reveal new potentials for existing spaces. By applying strategies of extension, insertion, and reprogramming to these prevalent structures, it combines generic urban prototypes common to the post-war era in Europe with the untapped qualities of the visionary, utopian modernism demonstrated by its tropical counterparts in S‹o Paulo. With designs by Paulo Mendas da Rocha, Elza Salvatori Berqu—, Antonio Cunha Lima, Eduardo Longo, and others. Conceived and edited by Rainer Hehl and Ludwig Engel.
