Description:

The documentary presents the daily life of an architectural firm BLOCO Arquitetos and shows as a backdrop reflections and criticisms about the relationship between architecture and the city and its works in the wild environment of the Cerrado, in the center of the country. According to them, the principles of modern architecture produced in the beginning of Brasília can still serve as inspiration for the production of an essentially Brazilian contemporary architecture connected to the challenges of the present day, especially in relation to the preservation of the region's native biome. The film was shot in two locations: Brasília and Chapada dos Veadeiros. Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, is a city planned and built in the 60's and is still today one of the main international references of modern architecture.
