Intervening in buildings of historic value is one of the most delicate tasks facing architects. Today, preservation is no longer limited to restoring centuries-old buildings; it also encompasses the language of modern architecture.
In Brazil, modern buildings represent the country's defining architectural contribution to the world. Leading figures like Oscar Niemeyer and Paulo Mendes da Rocha helped redefine the possibilities of modernism internationally and, alongside many other names, shaped Brazilian architecture. Countless works embodying this language were built over the last century and are now undergoing renovation, rehabilitation, and remodeling projects.
