Abstract
This paper deals with the documentation of the architecture built in wood in Brasilia, through the presentation of three houses designed and built by Zanine Caldas. Self-taught architect, craftsman and furniture maker, Zanine was a professor at the University of Brasilia and lived in the city between 1959 and 1964, where he built more than twenty timber residences. Although few works study his works, theprojects in Brasilia are the record of a history built in wood in the capital of reinforced concrete. The residences presented in this article correspond to examples from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and were classified based on the definition of most representative characteristics of the architect’s style: implementation and domain of the land; architectural composition: proportion and volume; structural expression: modulation and rhythm; roofings and ceilings; external enclosures and details.
