Brasilia: Axis and Monumental Modernism

Brasilia is known worldwide for its faithful application of the principles outlined in the 1933 Athens Charter. Conceived in 1956 by urban planner Lucio Costa and architect Oscar Niemeyer, the city is a monumental expression of modern urbanism and architectural innovation. Its visionary layout, extensive open spaces, and sculptural concrete structures helped earn it the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, making it the only twentieth-century city to receive such recognition. Exploring Brasilia is like stepping into a living museum of modern architecture, where every building and avenue follows a precise aesthetic and functional logic. With a professional architect as your guide, this tour allows you to fully appreciate the structural ingenuity and artistic expression that shape Brasilia.
