Urban Development and Societal Issues

This essay presents the main historical determinants of the postmodern movement in the state of Minas Gerais, particularly the cultural and political opening following the years of military dictatorship in Brazil, the economic crisis, the articulation and the currency of the intellectual circles in that region, the favorable environment for renewal in arts and architecture inBelo Horizonte in the late 1970s, and the intervention of architect Éolo Maia. We also analyze two built examples: Casa Arquiepiscopal, in Mariana, and Rainha da Sucata, in Belo Horizonte.
