Abstract

The Brazilian Modern Architecture is associated to transparent glazed surfaces and the use of shading devices (such as brise-soleil and pergolas ), which are symbolic constructive elements of that time, resultant of ancient techniques’ adaptation combined with new technologies. It can be pointed, in the first modern buildings, the use of these protection elements against direct solar radiation as a constructive facility, which leads to a large daylight capture. This paper reminds and outstands the importance of transparency, visual permeability and its association with aesthetic points, comfort and daylight improvement in some representative buildings of Modern Architecture in Rio de Janeiro: the MEC Building – Culture and Education Ministry, where, for instance (in spite of the project distortions, suffered later with town planning interventions) the use of brises, in the Northwest facade, is an essential element for the users comfort; the MAM Building – Modern Art Museum of Rio de Janeiro, where the transparency seems deliberate, which reinforced modern concepts of flowing spaces; and finally the FAU/UFRJ Building – School of Architecture and Urbanism from Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, which project, considering the local disposable sky brightness, foresaw brises (where are evident the consequences of its no-using).
