quest for conciseness and purity, to be attained with compact solutions, simple and geometric: problems of hierarchy and of architectonic character; the fitness of unity and harmony amongst the buildings and, further, that these no longer [would be] expressed through their secondary elements, but rather through the structure itself, duly integrated within the original plastic conceptionOscar Niemeyer, Testimonial, 1958

Joaquim Cardozo (1897-1978)
we are concerned no longer with a Cartesian geometry, dominated or led by algebraic formalism, but with another, more modern, that has cast off systems borrowed from other sources and restricting its field of existence. The use of this geometric reality (…) brings us nowadays to a criterion of moldings, of the proportions and outline (…). A molding more intrinsic to the lines, surfaces and volumes that constitute architectonic space, one that is defined by the use of fields of tangency, and curvature, or contacts of a higher order between these geometric entities. (…) Joaquim Cardozo, Some new ideas about architecture, 1963

• Close relationship between the architectural and engineering teams;
• Adoption in some cases of standard industrialized parts;
• Architectural language reduced to very few, relatively simple elements, where framing, cladding, coating and flooring were made of small components or with optically diverging compositions that conceal imperfections.
