Plano Piloto, Administrative region in Federal District, Brazil
The urban layout of Plano Piloto follows an airplane shape with designated sectors for residential, commercial, and governmental functions along wide avenues.
Architect Lucio Costa designed Plano Piloto in 1957 as part of President Kubitschek's vision to establish a modern capital in Brazil's interior region.
The Federal District headquarters contains numerous museums, theaters, and cultural spaces integrated within the modernist architecture of governmental buildings.
The metro system connects different sectors of Plano Piloto through stations strategically positioned near residential areas and main administrative centers.
Each residential block, called superquadra, includes local commerce, schools, and recreational spaces arranged within six-story buildings surrounded by green areas.
