The Casa do Brasil is a Brazilian cultural school and dormitory. Luis Alfonso d'Escragnolle Filho was the official architect for Brazil and designed the building based on the location of the school. The topography of the land lent its configuration to the placement of the different blocks and individual shapes of the building. The harmony of these separate blocks, along with the use of stilts and other structural systems, are meant to give the building a sense of mobility.

One can note a clear affinity with the Brazilian interpretations of Le Corbusier (especially the Swiss Pavilion) common in Brazil at mid-century.
