The article explores the complex relationship between architectural education and modernist principles in Brazil, highlighted through insights from five Brazilian professors. They emphasize modernism's deep roots in the country's architecture schools, stemming from its historic impact, iconic buildings like Brasília, and the training of many educators. While acknowledging modernism's contributions to construction rationalization, the professors also point out its failures in urban planning, such as fragmented spaces and blind facades. This raises critical questions about evolving educational approaches that must adapt to contemporary architectural needs and prioritize urban vitality.
Modernism remains deeply embedded in Brazilian architecture schools, influencing education and practice while also raising critical questions about urban planning's past shortcomings.
