While advertising shouts, architecture whispers. History, memories, and local identity are hidden—or flanked—by signs and supposedly unmissable promotions. Who sells cheaper? Who shouts louder? Starting from a local situation—the Independência Street, popularly known as Rua Grande, in São Leopoldo, RS—this book presents a question common to so many Brazilian cities: landscapes filled with stories that fade beneath ever-larger brands and slogans driven by calls to consumption. In the contemporary city, is even the landscape for sale?
