The Museu da Casa Brasileira , an institution of the Secretariat of Culture of the State of São Paulo, presents ' Experiencing Le Corbusier – Contemporary interpretations of modernism '. The exhibition presents a reflection on modernism in Brazil and on the work of the French-Swiss architect. For the exhibition, the Triptyque Architecture office created Entropical Modernism , a study that starts from the understanding that the same object, in different contexts, responds in different ways. 
Based on this premise, the proposal questions the reason why modernism was accepted differently in the tropical environment and in the northern hemisphere. The quartet of professionals researched the contradictions and similarities of the works of Oscar Niemeyer and Le Corbusier and the way in which architecture interacts with nature in the tropicalist movement. In this way, they designed an installation on a common land where nature is the agent and architecture the platform to develop a symbolic relationship between the built and the organic.
