SUMMARY:

This research seeks to investigate the characteristics of buildings constructed in the city of Cuiabá, in the state of Mato Grosso, during the 1930s and 1940s under the authoritarian government of Getúlio Vargas in Brazil, especially during the New State (Estado Novo in Portuguese) period (1937-1945). The constructions analyzed are considered illustrative of a transition from historicist aesthetics in construction to the first modern manifestations, not necessarily modernist, in the city of Cuiabá. These modern expressions were manifested throughout those years in institutional buildings constructed with a series of varied characteristics. Within the myriad of idioms in the architecture of those buildings, it is highlighted the presence of aspects of modernized neoclassical, art deco, and neocolonial. In addition to analyzing the characteristics of the buildings, this thesis also seeks to reflect on the historiographic construction of Brazilian architecture, which was focused on the buildings that resulted from the modern movement. This preliminary historiography ended up “invisibilizing” other important manifestations that occurred in expressively numerous ways, especially the civic architecture produced outside the major centers of the country. Finally, the work aims to discuss the relationship between architecture and politics in this context — especially because it is a period of an authoritarian government in Brazil and also the years before and during World War II. Furthermore, this thesis investigates the materialization of these relations in the space and the results in Cuiabá’s landscape, especially because those buildings lead to the introduction of new materials and construction techniques on the site.
