Architect and urban planner Sergio Moacir Marques, a professor at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, is presenting a lecture at FAUP on the manifestation of Brazilian Modern Architecture in the south of the country, by examining exemplary projects and works by the generation that descended from the modern avant-garde in the region.

In this lecture, Sergio Moacir Marques intends, through an analysis of the period from the late 1940s to the late 1960s, which covers the introduction, dissemination and expansion of modern architecture in the state, to reflect on how the trajectory and, above all, how the corresponding architectural production reflects the panorama of modern architecture in Latin America and its insertion in the broader context of the Modern Movement.

The guest will be introduced by Professor Rui Póvoas.
