A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
It is the decadence that Oswald Spengler predicts for after 2000 that Fernando Távora already encounters at every step of his mythical American journey. It is this “cultural pessimism”, the matrix of “decline”, that marks his life forever, even if the “springtime” with which he was formed is omnipresent: Le Corbusier and Picasso, the modernists like baroque angels, the modernism that then fluttered and rebuilds his beloved Brazil; and Fernando Pessoa, who was decline and ascension in reverse order, with an entourage of heteronyms to deal with the complexities of life.
