Joaquim Cardozo & Oscar Niemeyer

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Xhulio Binjaku

This essay follows the life of Joaquim Cardozo, tracing his interactions with the founding groups of Brazilian modernism in both literature and architecture. Understanding Cardozo’s history is crucial to understanding his relationship to his longtime collaborator and friend, the famous architect Oscar Niemeyer. From 1941 to 1971, the two constructed a distinct vision for Brazilian modern architecture in reinforced concrete.
