RESUMO

This work is about a specific Brazilian modern architecture branch, which was started by a group of designers of Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of the 1930s, and fully developed between the first years of the 1940s and the middle of the 1950s. Sometimes called nativist or new architecture of the local tradition, this parcel of the national production has as its main conceptual guidelines the ideas of the architect Lucio Costa. Its most important formal characteristic is the use, among the modern syntax, of architectural elements inspired in the Brazilian colonial tradition. We have analized five representative works of the raised discussion: the Grand Hotel of Ouro Preto, a project by Oscar Niemeyer from 1940; the Saavedra House in Petrópolis-RJ, a project by Lucio Costa from 1941; the Holiday Resort of IRB in Rio de Janeiro, a project by the MMM Robertos Office from 1943; the Park Hotel São Clemente in Nova Friburgo-RJ, a project by Lucio Costa from 1944; and the Holzmeister House in Rio de Janeiro, a project from the Pires &Santoss Office in 1955.
