Resumo: | In the immediate post-war period of the late 1940s, many South African architects were profoundly influenced by Brazilian modernity. It was through amongst others, the patronage of Pretoria architect Norman Eaton (1902-1966) that the Brazilian influence was disseminated in South Africa. Eaton was influenced by the work of especially Oscar Niemeyer (1907-2012), whom he met personally on a tour of the Americas during 1945. In Eaton’s work, translation of the Brazilian variant of Modernism was found to be compatible with African qualities. It was probably this trans-Atlantic exchange that contributed towards Eaton finding his own voice in the translation towards an African identity. |

O arquiteto Norman Eaton (1902-1966), de Pretoria, foi um dos responsá- veis por disseminar a influência brasileira na África do Sul. Eaton foi influenciado especialmente pelo trabalho de Oscar Niemeyer (1907- 2012), a quem ele conheceu pessoalmente numa viagem pelas Américas em 1945. Na obra de Eaton, a tradução da variante moderna do modernismo brasileiro revelou-se compatível com atributos africanos. Foi provavelmente esse intercâmbio transatlântico que contribuiu para que Eaton encontrasse sua especificidade na transposição em direção a uma identidade africana.Programa de Pós-graduação em Arquitetura e Urbanismo, Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo2017-08-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/paranoa/article/view/1178010.18830/issn.1679-0944.n18.2017.03Paranoá; Vol. 10 No. 18 (2017): January/June EditionParanoá; v. 10 n. 18 (2017): Fluxo Contínuo - Janeiro/Junho1679-09441677-7395reponame:P@ranoáinstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBenghttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/paranoa/article/view/11780/10350Pienaar, Margueriteinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-02-08T14:35:49Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/11780Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/paranoaPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/paranoa/oaiparanoa@unb.br1679-09441677-7395opendoar:2024-02-08T14:35:49P@ranoá - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false |
