Focusing on Rio de Janeiro\u2019s early-20th-century urban reforms and architectural debates, I argue that the favela emerged as a figure through which elites translated colonial hierarchies of order and disorder into modernist form. From the demolition of Morro do Castelo for the 1922 World\u2019s Fair to the experimental architectural proposals of Fl\u00e1vio de Carvalho and the critical writings of M\u00e1rio de Andrade circa 1930, the city became a laboratory for reconciling industrial modernity with nostalgic visions of colonial stability. Rather than a break with colonialism, Brazil\u2019s technocratic urbanism recoded the spatial logics of the casa-grande and plantation – hierarchical, paternalist, and racialized – into the visual grammar of modernization. The favela thus became both the symptom and the aesthetic kernel of modern Brazilian urbanism: a site where social inequality was reimagined as a design problem.<\/p>\n Adrian Anagnost teaches the history of modern and contemporary art and space in the Americas, with particular attention to Brazil, the U.S., and Atlantic World networks. Publications have considered representations of vernacular architecture, informality, and race in Brazilian modernism (Br\u00e9sil\/s 2021); performance and urban intervention as a mode of site-based historical commemoration of a revolt by enslaved people in 19th-century Louisiana (RACAR 2021); pandemic-era DIY design (Design Issues 2022), and forms of evidence for the study of West African architecture in the period of early modern globalization. Anagnost’s book “Spatial Orders, Social Forms: Art and the City in Modern Brazil” was released by Yale University Press in 2022, and current research considers the militarized ecologies of the land- and waterscapes in Louisiana where the Mississippi River meets the Gulf of Mexico.<\/p>\n This event is part of this year\u2019s lecture series of the DFG Research Training Group \u201cOrganizing Architectures\u201d. https:\/\/organizingarchitectures.org\/<\/p>\n Members of the Architektenkammer Hessen (AKH) can earn 2 credits points for participating. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How did the visual and spatial logics of colonial Brazil persist within modern technocratic urbanism?
