In the case of the newly built Brazilian capital 1956–60, its architect did not win the competition thanks to the clarity of his drawings but essentially thanks to the text of the competition report –the famous relatorio 1957– in which the few formal and organizational principles of the city i.e. the use of the superquadra as the city's main residential solution were clearly described and as such made available to future builders.
En el caso de la nueva sede del poder político brasileño, el arquitecto no ganó el concurso solo gracias a la claridad de sus dibujos: fue clave el texto de la memoria, el célebre "relatorio".
