Paulo Mendes da Rocha (Architect and Urbanist), in the presentation of this first edition. [This] book opens us up through all its originality and dignity, but also through all its socio-economic and technological constraint and specificity in relation to Brazilian Indigenous Architecture in terms of each of the ethnicities studied. Indeed, it is precisely this process that brings them out of the dusty limbo of historical references and prejudices, inviting them to enter the universe of local cultures and the dominant civilizations of the globalized and living world of the current age.
