dc.description.abstract |
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. |

No período do imediato pósguerra de fim dos anos de 1940, muitos arquitetos sulafricanos estavam profundamente influenciados pelo modernismo brasileiro. 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 revelouse 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. |
