Sumario: This paper studies a variant of Brazilian architecture which has been mistakenly called “international style”. Resulting formconverging influences such as Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, the Case Study House Program and Concretism, amongothers, it has been very early adopted in São Paulo, defining an alternative to the then prevailing “Corbusian-carioca” model.Its constructive tone searched out features like synthesis, rationalism, atemporality and, consequently, universality, gettingapart both from the corbusian matrix and the autochthonous bias which, together, have been answerable for that model’sinternational success.This alternative pattern of modern architecture spread its influence towards other regions in Brazil, including the city of PortoAlegre, which got in touch with it by means of the winning proposition at the competition for the Legislative Palace of Rio Grandedo Sul State (1958), designed by two architects from São Paulo. This project may be called a “dividing line” inside local architecturalproduction. Moreover, it consequently contributed to reveal this “turning point” to the supremacy of carioca schoolarchitecture in Brazil. In the fifties this supremacy started to be shared with that dissenting production.
