Brasilia and Brazil
Brasilia was built in under four years and inaugurated as the new capital of Brazil in 1960. It is the most ambitious urban project in the 20th century worldwide, creating buildings that have become popular icons and asserting modernism as the symbol of Brazil.
Brasilia is the first architectural and urban complex of the 20th century recognised as UNESCO’s world heritage site.
