Abstract

This article sheds light on the architectural-political events that took place in the early 1950s in Porto Alegre by focusing on the architect Demetrio Ribeiro and his connection to socialist realism. Investigating Ribeiro’s work, inspired by communist aesthetic ideology, reveals the complexities of the theoretical and practical context of the first modern architecture phase in Porto Alegre. The opening years of 1950 marked a period in which the first generation of architects from the southernmost capital of Brazil dared to present first examples of modern “Brazilian architecture,” a term that qualified certain expressions belonging to the “Carioca school” or its canons, within a still conservative urban fabric.
