"Brasilia is located in the southwest of Goias state. Inaugurated in 1960, it is situated in the highlands of central Brazil, and its modern public buildings stand out in sparsely settled countryside. The city was laid out (1957) in the shape of an airplane by the Brazilian architect Lucio Costa."
In deference to the theory of modernism in architecture, the plot plan of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, was of a bird in flight, or an airplane. Government and administrative buildings form the body of the plane, while residential and shopping areas extend out the wings. The city was planned with space set aside in every residential block for apartments, restaurants, shops and services.
