Pampulha Modern Ensemble

Brazil
🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Pampulha modern complex is the centerpiece of a visionary garden city project built in 1940 in Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais state. Built around an artificial lake, this cultural and leisure center includes a casino, a dance hall, a golf yacht club, and the São Francisco de Assis Church. The buildings were designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer in collaboration with innovative artists. The complex features bold forms that exploit the plastic potential of concrete while blending architecture, landscaping, sculpture, and painting into a harmonious whole. It reflects the influence of local traditions, the Brazilian climate, and the natural environment on the principles of modern architecture.
