Nosso Lar, Bras’lia explores the relationship between Spiritism and Modernism in Brazilian architecture. Central to the book is a systematic comparison between the spiritist city of Nosso Lar (1944), as described by the medium Chico Xavier; and the modernist city of Bras’lia (1956), the country's capital as designed by Lœcio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer.
