History and influence in Brazil and in the

development of society, since it arose from the
need to organize and adorn spaces, especially
urban spaces. In other words, architecture is an
art that arises from the relationship between
man and space, so that it organizes the
environments.
The architecture of a country helps to tell its
story through buildings and styles that are
renewed from time to time. Brazilian
architecture is influenced by different countries.
The country's buildings portray European
influence with buildings following patterns from
Oscar Niemeyer countries such as France and Portugal.
