HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Pampulha Modern Ensemble.
The ensemble survives largely as built, comprising Oscar Niemeyer's Church of Saint Francis of Assisi, the former casino building now housing the Pampulha Art Museum, the Casa do Baile pavilion, and the Iate Tênis Clube, set around the artificial Pampulha lake. The complex is a World Heritage Site and is maintained by the municipality of Belo Horizonte. The buildings are open to the public, with the former casino and Casa do Baile functioning as museum and exhibition spaces.
About Pampulha Modern Ensemble
The Pampulha Modern Ensemble was designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer, with landscaping by Roberto Burle Marx, and built in the early 1940s around an artificial lake for Belo Horizonte's mayor, Juscelino Kubitschek. It comprised a casino, a ballroom, a yacht club, and the Church of São Francisco de Assis. The complex marked an early expression of Brazilian modernist architecture.
