This paper aims to investigate how sustainability has been demanded and interpreted by the Public Architectural Competitions in Brazil in the XXI century. The related literature was reviewed, addressing the consolidation of a theoretical background for the evaluation of architectural projects concerning their relation with democracy, their pros and cons according to the vision of some academic researchers, and mainly the sustainable architecture and its multiple understandings. Thus, the occurrence of competitions in Brazil was overviewed, and compared with the international framework. Finally, the documentary basis related to the Public Architecture Competitions (Edicts and Terms of Reference) that occurred in Brazil between 2009 and 2015 is analyzed and compared with the results presented by Sobreira (2009a) for the period from 2000 to 2007. This study unveils that sustainability has been increasingly and more widely demanded by the Competitions, but it is still accounted in some cases under a limiting way, overvaluing environmental aspects to the detriment of socio-cultural and economic issues.
