Overview

In this itinerary you will discover part of Lucio Costa's urban design and several works by Oscar Niemeyer, one of the greatest architects of all time. You will also meet several other artists whose work is integrated into the architecture and urbanism of the city.

The circuit takes people to get to know the main sights of the city, reaching the Monumental Axis from its western part to Praça dos 3 Poderes.

Among other places, we visited the TV Tower, City Park, Dom Bosco Sanctuary, and the South Commercial Sector.

We pass by the Upper Platform of the Bus Station, National Theatre, Cultural Complex of the Republic, Cathedral, Esplanada dos Ministérios, Itamaraty and arrive at Praça dos Três Poderes and Espaço Lucio Costa.

We walk on shared bike paths and pavements and we always cross at traffic lights or pedestrian crossings.

By bike we cover circuits impossible for other vehicles and the perspective of the city is completely different.

The first unit of the Sarah Hospitals Network is a rehabilitation centre specialising in locomotion and orthopedic diseases. Architect design. They are notably humanized hospitals that do not look like hospitals. The long stay of patients is softened by large, multicoloured, airy environments with natural ventilation and lighting. The buildings adopt a rationalized construction system that facilitates the distribution of installations and the flexibility of the internal areas. In the main building, the facades are marked by the vierendeel beams that, together with the advances and setbacks of the floors, create terraces-gardens with double height ceilings integrated into the internment areas. João da Gama Filgueiras Lima (Lelé) [1932 -2014] was born in Rio de Janeiro and graduated from UFRJ in 1955. He worked with O. Niemeyer and L. Costa. He was a professor at UnB. Its architecture is marked by the attention to construction methods, the detailing of the projects, and a rationalization of the work.
Setor Comercial Sul
  • 30m
The Setor Comercial Sul region is central to Brasília. During the weekdays, it is one of the main pedestrian flows in the city due to the services and institutions that are installed there. The proximity to the bus station and Esplanada dos Ministérios also reinforce this flow. This, added to other factors, imposes a genuine cultural diversity. In recent years, some public places have undergone a process of revitalisation and there are some buildings by important architects such as Lelé and Oscar Niemeyer. The South Commercial Sector reflects the dynamics of the Gregária Scale and with the new uses that have been given to the spaces, it stands out - "If it were another Brazil, another Brasilia, another time, the South Commercial Sector would be the Champs Élysées that so inspired Lúcio Costa or La Rambla or any other European urban area with intense collective interaction. It's all there, ready to be used, used." (Conceição de Freitas - writer).
