Conclusion
The design clearly demonstrates the influence of the Athens Charter’s tenets by providing open space, natural light and an aesthetic that added to the cultural value of the city. The political conflicts in Brazil were, and still are, unresolved, which presented the main challenge of the design: how it would help improve the cultural and economic situation of Brazil. The project achieved its unique qualities with the aid of Le Corbusier and ideas from CIAM, making the project a sensation worldwide.5, 6 Not only was its modern architectural style a unique feature that attracted global attention, but its other features such as its open and green spaces, artwork, natural lighting are all evidence of the positive influences of CIAM and Le Corbusier’s “Five Points of New Architecture”. In light the political, economic and social conditions Brazil was undergoing in the early 1930’s, the ministry of education and health appropriately addressed various issues, bringing hope to the people of Brazil for recovery and a better future.
