Composed
by the States of Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul and Goiás, the
middle-west has an impressive nature and contrasts with the rest of
the country. Right in the heart of the land, the capital Brasilia is
an exemple of modern architecture, appointed by Unesco as a Cultural
Monument of Mankind surrounded by a sanctuary of ecological life in
the tropics, a place called Pantanal, an amazing extension of flat land
with its biodiversity entirely preserved, a paradise for those searching
to be among the forces of nature.
- BRASILIA
Brazil's modern federal capital was designed for the 21st century
by the nations's leading planners and architects, such as Oscar Niemeyer,
in order to promote demographic occupation into the heart of the countryside
and to protect its frontiers. The concept has been long discussed,
creating a whole new city amid the wild jungle growth and red soil
of Central Brazil. The construction has finally begun under the driving
energy of President Kubitscheck in the late fiftie's, and the architectural
ensemble is appointed as a symbol of modernity inspired in the great
Le Corbusier.
