Summary

The Dieste y Montañez (DyM) office's innovative use of reinforced ceramics significantly impacted Brazil's architectural landscape during the 1960s to 1980s, coinciding with its economic boom. This system, recognized as part of UNESCO World Heritage Site with the Church of Atlántida, spread widely due to its cost efficiency and structural advantages. The study reveals that DyM's projects, including religious works, warehouses, and grain silos, often relied on state patronage, highlighting a unique intersection between architecture and state policy during Brazil's developmental surge. The research approach combines historical analysis with architectural assessment, emphasizing the system's dissemination and its broader socio-political context.
