For centuries, civilisation did not portrude into brazil far from the
coastline. The vast majority of the population was there, trade was
there, cities were there. It has always been a dream of the Brazilian
government to move the capital inland - thereby gaining more control of
the vast interior of the country.
This dream did not become reality until the 1950's, when Brazilian
president Kubitchek decided Brazil needed a monumental capital if it
was ever to become a world power. As America had Washington DC,
Australia had Canberra and Russia had once had St. Petersburg, so too
would Brazil have its Brasilia.
The dream-city
The modernist architecture is stunning. No doubt about it. Many of the
buildings set along the central axis are surrreal in their appearance.
They are meant to impress. the houses along the wings of the airplane
shaped city all look out onto parks, while wide boulevards lead into
the center. It was a laboritory for modernist achitects and urban
planners, and today the city is a Mecca for anyone interested in
architecture.
The architectural dream of the 1950's turned out to be a nightmare for
the people that had to populate the city: the civil servants. The
government may have moved, all the excitement was left in Rio de
Janeiro, the old capital. If you have more than a day to spend in
Brasilia, you will notice that the city center is devoid of night- and
daylife: it is surprisingly boring. It is as if the architects forgot
to build the entertainment.
If you don't have a car, there is nothing more to do than cross the
empty plain that is the heart of the city, have dinner at Brasilias
only McDonalds and go to your hotel for an early nights' sleep.
However, if you do have access to a car (or speak enough portugese to
tell a taxi driver where to go), things are looking more bright. Drive
down the wings of the city, and go to one of the smaller neighbourhood
centers: that's where you'll find the restaurants, bars, clubs. But be
warned, like all attractions in Brasilia are spread out over a vast
distance, so too is the nightlife...
