The multiplying of spatial references in contemporary thinking sets limits to the epics developed according to the path of their narratives, i.e., based on the belief that time in history could cross space following an unequivocal and pre-established direction² . Considering that the concept of space, to the contrary, simultaneously implies mobility and meeting, the latter understood dialogically, this article takes a spatial approach in a specific historiographic analysis: the construction of the narrative of modern brazilian architecture. To do so, the concept of space will resort to three different approaches. The first regards the position and context that bases this construction, i.e., considering the position held by its main proponent, Lucio Costa, during the culturally effervescent 1930s, and the authoritarian, nationalistic, and populist bias that prevailed during Brazil's Estado Novo (New State) regime, from 1937 to 1945. The second regards the cultural geography and considers the way in which historians understand history and operate the ideas of transfers, exchanges, and dialogs in the contemporary cultural space or in the past and present history. The commitments Costa had with asserting a national identity, as suggested by the figural relation between colonial architecture and modern architecture emerge from the confrontation of supra-national thinking of George Kubler and Robert Chester Smith - as well as their contemporaries in the study of Latin American colonial art and architecture - which thinking is permeated with European humanism that came to America together with the intellectuals exiled between the two wars. The third approach introduces the notion of spatial theoretical formulations of Georg Simmel and Martin Buber.Downloads
