Design of the Brasilia TV Tower

The Brasilia TV Tower, designed by Lucio Costa, exemplifies innovative architectural and engineering integration. This study delves into the structural and aesthetic foundations of the tower, revealing how its concrete base and metal framework were harmoniously merged to achieve both functional and symbolic goals. The research, part of a broader dissertation on Costa's work, employs a detailed analysis of architectural bases and project aspects, offering insights into the interplay between form and structure in modernist design. The findings underscore the tower's significance as a landmark of Brasilia, showcasing its enduring influence on urban planning and architecture.
