HEROES OF INDEPENDENCE I.

Francisco de Miranda was a Venezuelan revolutionary. Although his own plans for the independence of the Spanish American colonies failed, he is regarded as a forerunner of Simón Bolívar, who during the Spanish American wars of independence successfully liberated a vast portion of South America. Miranda led a romantic and adventurous life. An idealist, he developed a visionary plan to liberate and unify all of Spanish America but his own military initiatives on behalf of an independent Spanish America ended in 1812. He was handed over to his enemies and four years later, in 1816, died in a Spanish prison. Within fourteen years of his death, however, most of Spanish America was independent. (source: wiki)

Construction of BRASÍLIA in 1950s

Photos by Marcel Gautherot.

City by Lucio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer

Brasília was planned and developed by Lúcio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer in 1956 in order to move the capital from Rio de Janeiro to a more central position. 

The landscape architect was Roberto Burle Marx. 

 Brasília was chosen as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its modernist architecture.

Juscelino Kubitschek, President of Brazil from 1956 to 1961, ordered the construction of Brasília, fulfilling the promise of the Constitution and his own political campaign promise. 

Building Brasília was part of Juscelino's "fifty years of prosperity in five" plan.

. Brasília was built in 41 months, from 1956 to 1960. (WIKI)
