Modernism Is Changing

This capital city Of Brazil

great cities Of the worlds
slowly renouncing her 18th

stead is rising q daring mod

Simplicity Of line in the new
buildings does not detract from
Rios curving white beaches.
its sleepy blue harbor or its
hazy blue mountains which
seem to melt down into the sea.
Rather, the new architectural
style is more like a functional
center from which the occV-
pants can live and move, yet
have their being in the beauti-
full out-of-doors which seems
literally to move in through the
great expanse of glass holding
concrete walls together.
An outstanding master Of the
country's new architecture is

signers of the United Nations

Education, whose unconven-

ago. but which has since be-
come the basis for a new de-
sign in both residential and
commercial construction.
Most prolific commercial con-
struction is in Sac Paulo, fast
est growing city in the world,
but Rio is still the favorite of
the tourist. 1t is the playground
of Brazil-rather like a laugh
ing child who would rather bask
in the sun and dance by the
moon than hustle about to
make more cruzeiros like its
businesslike sister city Of Sac

ropean plan. without meals.
Even at these rates. there are
plenty of takers, supporting Mr..
Held's view that there still is a
need for luxury accommoda-
tions. Although nobody at the
hotel likes to talk about it
there is always the bugaboo Of
cancellations-it is reported the
bookings are virtually solid for
the next couple of months.
Airport Near
The new hotel has the nebu-
lous advantage of being close to
the airport. If your room faces
the front, you can watch the
airplanes landing and taking
OF.
Being close to the airport
also means it is further from
downtown and the attractions
of the Old City-but closer to
the fast-building tourist attrac-
tons of the interior.
The San Juan is a milestone
in one respect. 1t represents q
heavier investment of private
funds than the others. OF the
SIS million cost, only $500.000
was government money.
AS part of its Operation
BootStrap," the government
poured money into new hotels
here, confident that tourism. as
the islands mum Der four
money-maker, could take up
the economic slack left by the
three leaders-agriculture. in
dustry and construction.
The confidence is being justi-
fed.
Last year, 100000 visitors
came to the Islands, per cent
more than the previous year.
They spent $28 million-18 per
cent more than the year be-
fore.
And there are indications
that this year. even with the
new hotels, demand for rooms
may outrun the supply.
