CASTRO GONSALES, Celia Helena. Rationality and Contingency in Rino Levi's Architecture. Apuntes [online]. 2008, vol.21, n.2, pp.206-221. ISSN 1657-9763.

This study examines the work of Rino Levi, who belonged to the generation of architects that implants and develops modern architecture in Brazil. The analysis focus the study of project process and attempts to identify general procedures, always considering the interaction between the production of the modern architect and the environment in which he acts. The special nuances showed by modernity in view of the dichotomies rationality and contingency, normative and special, etc., indicated by authors such as Alan Colquhoun and Carlos Eduardo Comas, are a central theme in this investigation. Firstly, a reading is made of his first years' work, taking into account the influences and the urban and cultural context in which the architect develops his activity, as well as his practical work and the consequent theoretical reflections. After that, the work of his professional maturity is analyzed, based on the qualitative aspects of the urban space - from the center of the metropolis to the mansions located in the suburbs. The interpretation of Levi's work from a contingent fact as important as the urban place unveils the various adaptations that such architecture could undertake, keeping identifiable, in its basis and structure, the modern "scheme".
