Summary
"Modernity in Hans Broos" is a study that analyzes the German and Brazilian works produced between the late 1940s and the 1970s by architect Hans Broos, published in commemoration of the centenary of his birth. The German postwar situation is the key context of the book, in which the architect gathers a dense theorical and practical background, and experiences that will form the core of his architectural practice. Arriving in Brazil in the early 1950s, he contextualizes his work to the Brazilian architecture of the Carioca School and assimilates the main concepts of the Paulista Brutalism, which are bound to the references he attains to his German experience. The focus of the study is to show in what dimension his brutalist architecture is aligned to his background's concepts, whether through a theoretical and indirect way, or by the direct example of the works of master Egon Eiermann.
