Modern architecture, in its early days, was based on innovative technologies of construction and a rejection of ornament, which established the use of straight lines in building design. However, thanks to the plasticity of concrete and other materials, new patterns began to emerge, resulting in more organic and curvy lines.
Whether for visual effects or more technical reasons such as better adjusting to the terrain, curved elements certainly provide a unique perception of the space, both from the outside and from the inside. We have listed here seven contemporary Brazilian houses that stand out for using this feature.

A beautiful example of 1766 example of Gerhard Friedrich Müller s important map of the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, the Bering Strait and Siberia, here in its rare Dutch second edition. Issued after the seminal explorations of Vitus Bering (1733 - 1743) on the Asia side of his namesake strait, but before the voyages of Captain James Cook similarly mapped the American side of the Bering Strait, this map is a smorgasbord of cartographic speculation â such as the exceptionally fine delineation of Friedrich Müller s Peninsula (Alaska / Aleutians).
