"brutalism is a blight on a landscape" Brutalism is the painted-on fly or worm on the portrait Jesus Christ using the contrast to imply the glory of the other figure, in this case the thing of majesty being the natural world. Re-centering it in this context of exposed materials and the great exterior world that dwarfs it then returns the quiet beauty.

Look at how that wood paneling makes the room come alive. You begin to believe this hall is a place centering people, fitting the purpose perfectly.

Both the surrounding landscaping and the expanses of glass make this building not the main attraction but rather an accompaniment to a beautiful world and the beautiful art within.

Do you not feel like you can finally breathe?

O Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro é uma das obras mais emblemáticas da arquitetura brasileira e obra prima de Affonso Eduardo Reidy. Em 1948, o arquiteto iniciou a construção do projeto do Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro (MAM-RJ). A obra fica situada no Aterro do Flamengo, próxima ao aeroporto Santos  Dumont, o “bloco-escola” foi construído em 1958, abrigando a administração do museu. No entanto, o pavilhão de exposição só ficou pronto em 1968 e, o teatro foi o último bloco a ser construído, com 1000 lugares, todavia, após a reforma devido ao incêndio em 1978, passou a ter 2500 lugares.

Nessa obra podemos observar o uso de pilotis em formato de V, além de uma fachada de vidro que dá uma visão do jardim projetado por Roberto Burle Marx.

A galeria de exposição é uma área de 130 metros de extensão por 26 metros de largura, totalmente livre de colunas – o que oferece liberdade para a disposição das obras.

A obra é considerada uma das primeiras a seguir o estilo brutalista no Brasil.

Affonso Eduardo Reidy, Museum of Modern Art, landscape Roberto Burle Marx #1952Architecture Rio de Janeiro 'Even though Brutalism is often associated with the Paulista (São Paulo) tradition in architecture, the Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro is considered the first Brutalist building in Brazil. Designed by Affonso Reidy, the MAM was inaugurated in 1953 and is a series of structures within the vast landscape of the Aterro Flamengo, a linear park that mediates between the Guanabara Bay and Rio’s old center. While stark in material and form, the MAM is softened by its situation within low, thick vegetation and its proximity to the Flamengo Beach. With the MAM, Reidy established the tradition of constructing places of learning and culture as sets of buildings that frame exterior spaces. While appearing as a monolithic, the MAM exists in collage-like formation and relies on cues from its surrounding context. The visitor to the MAM has the option to weave through its external spaces or enter into one of the several structures. Further, the clean pilotis of the International Style–directly appropriated for the Ministry of Education and Health Building (1932)–are abstracted, from which a suspended glass box hangs, a foreshadowing to the MASP project of Lina Bo Bardi. The MAM maintains a delicate balance between universality and context, hard and soft landscapes, city and nature.'
