Os projetos a serem estudados são o de Le Corbusier (o segundo, para o terreno sugerido por ele) e o projeto executado, concebido pela equipe de Lucio Costa, composta por Carlos Leão, Affonso Reidy, Jorge Moreira, Ernani Vasconcelos e Oscar Niemeyer. Propomos verificar, a partir da análise comparativa das disposições plásticas adotadas em cada projeto, conteúdos que expressam um ideário de seus autores e que evidenciam um caráter de permanência e universalidade. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / The present research discusses the projects for the Ministry of Education and Health in Rio de Janeiro in order to develop an aesthetics objectively justified analysis. The projects studied are from Le Corbusier (the second one for that particular space suggested by him) and the project executed and designed by the team of Lucio Costa, made by Carlos Leon, Affonso Reidy, Jorge Moreira, Ernani Vasconcelos and Oscar Niemeyer. We propose to verify, from a comparative analysis of the provisions used in each plastic design, contents that express an ideology of their authors and show a character of permanence and universality.

A presente dissertação trata das casas projetadas pelo arquiteto Oscar Niemeyer, no período que compreende o início da sua carreira, em 1935, até a revisão autocrítica de 1955 – entre a Emergência e o final da Hegemonia da Arquitetura Moderna Brasileira. As 24 casas do período são apresentadas em ordem cronológica estudadas e analisadas individualmente, em paralelo ao conjunto de sua obra e considerando o contexto arquitetônico local e internacional. Contexto este especificamente representado pelos seus mestres confessos: Lucio Costa e Le Corbusier. As análises específicas de cada casa abordam: a sua motivação, o contexto histórico-cultural, os seus clientes, o lugar onde estão (ou estariam) e os seus aspectos compositivos, formais, funcionais e técnico-construtivos. O conjunto e contexto aparecem como suporte para a comparação, verificação de precedência, de influência, de renovação ou realimentação. Os resultados foram classificados, listados e quantificados afim de permitir futuros estudos sobre o tema. O trabalho procura também contribuir como meio de compilação, preservação e registro iconográfico desta parcela da obra de Niemeyer.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo a descrição dos elementos que caracterizam a singularidade da linguagem arquitetônica de Oscar Niemeyer. Argumenta que a identificação de tais elementos passa pelo escrutínio de aspectos não visíveis da obra do arquiteto. A identificação foi possível a partir da análise de edifícios caracterizados pelo perfil curvilíneo e da construção de um modelo que associa os elementos compositivos utilizados por Niemeyer a uma Gramática de Formas. A utilização do modelo possibilitou revelar os princípios generativos - conjunto de regras, vocabulário e relações geométricas – que caracterizam o estilo – ou linguagem arquitetônica de Niemeyer. Ajudou ainda a demonstrar como a linguagem de Niemeyer associa de forma original, operações de transformação como rotação, reflexão, e translação a um vocabulário de curvas. A associação é parametrizada segundo um traçado regulador baseado na seção áurea. Em suas conclusões o trabalho sugere possibilidades de desenvolvimento desta gramática para todas as figuras utilizadas por Niemeyer e a aplicação de princípios generativos no ensino de arquitetura. / This work aims at describing the elements that characterize Oscar Niemeyer’s singular architectural language. It argues that the identification of these elements passes for the scrutiny of non-visible aspects of his work. The identification was possible taking into consideration from the analysis of buildings characterized for curved profile and the construction of a model that associates the compositional elements utilized by Niemeyer to a Shape Grammar. The utilization of the model made it possible to reveal the generative principles - set of rules, vocabulary and geometric relations - that characterize Niemeyer’s style and architectural language. It also helped showing how Niemeyer’s language associates, in an original way, operations of transformation such as rotation, reflection, and translation to a vocabulary of curves. The association has its parameters on a drawn line which acts as a regulator based on the golden section. As its conclusion, the work suggests possibilities of development of this grammar for all the forms utilized by Niemeyer and the aplication of generative principles in the teaching of architecture.

Este trabalho tem como tema central a apresentação e análise do Palácio da Alvorada, templo e casa grande, residência oficial do Presidente da República do Brasil. Idealizado por Oscar Niemeyer em 1956, foi uma das primeiras edificações de caráter definitivo construída na capital federal. Mesmo sendo projeto anterior à concepção do plano piloto de Lúcio Costa, a obra se confunde com a própria história da cidade, em que foi tema principal para variações posteriores. Já cinquentenária e apesar de amplamente apreciada e divulgada, esta obra ainda carece de um olhar mais abrangente, principalmente no que se refere aos seus antecedentes e documentação. Sendo assim, esta pesquisa primeiramente apresenta os antecedentes relevantes à concepção do palácio, sendo eles internos e externos à obra de Oscar Niemeyer. Em segundo lugar, visa apresentar a história arquitetônica do monumento, desde os primeiros riscos até os dias atuais. Por fim, pretende analisar a concepção do palácio, à luz de seus precedentes e fortuna crítica relevante. / This work has as its central theme the presentation and analysis of the presidential palace, temple and big house, official residence of the President. Designed by Oscar Niemeyer in 1956, was one of the first buildings constructed of a definitive character in the federal capital. Even as a pre-construction design of the master plan by Lúcio Costa, the work is intertwined with the history of the city, which was the main theme for variations later. Already fifty year and despite being widely disseminated and appreciated, this work still lacks a broader perspective, especially with regard to their history and documentation. Thus, this study first presents the background relevant to the design of the palace, and they were internal and external to the work of Oscar Niemeyer. Secondly, it aims to present the architectural history of the monument, from the early risks until the present day. Finally, we intend to analyze the design of the palace, in the light of their history and literary criticism relevant.

294 pages / This study identifies and examines Moises Kaufinan's theoretical questions and rehearsal techniques from their development in initial works at New York University to their specific application during the creation of Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde and The Laramie Project by his Tectonic Theater Project. Kaufinan's upbringing and major artistic influences are investigated in order to trace the origins of his current theoretical language and approach to making theatre. This dissertation primarily focuses on Kaufi:nan's approach to the workshop space as discussed in relation to his search for new theatrical forms, and his style of communication with company members. Such focus offers new questions regarding the basis and range ofKaufinan's aesthetic. The two guiding questions of the study ask: What is Kaufinan's directorial role in Tectonic Theatre Project's creation of new work? How does he ensure the "copulation" of form and content in the workshop space when creating new works? Chapter II outlines Kaufman's biography through detailing his education in Venezuela and in the Experimental Theatre Wing at New York University, as well as traces his early production history. Chapter III investigates how Tectonic techniques led to the creation of Gross Indecency examining Kaufman's inciting hunch, the depth of his research, his organizing principle and expanding through-lines, and "moment work." Chapter IV continues to trace the development of these Tectonic techniques through the creation of The Laramie Project, highlighting the fact that no two Tectonic Theater Project productions have been created in the same manner. This chapter also raises the crucial question of Kaufman's role as Tectonic's workshop director in regards to the issues of authority and authoring. Chapter V arrives at concluding questions and thoughts on Kaufman's theoretical questions in traffic with his workshop techniques, and how these shape his directorial and authorial aesthetics. Chapter V concludes with questions for further study on Kaufman and historically based theatre.
