© of the edition, docomomo International © of the images, their authors and © of the texts, their authors.There is room for the reconsideration of the established definitions of Modernism in order to better apprehend it as a truly global phenomenon, reconsidering its accepted timeline and periodization framework, opening up to the plurality of its beginnings, debating whether we are now actually beyond its end point in time or if it is possible to define from which date onwards a building is precluded from receiving the tag of “modern architecture”. The quest for effectively producing broader and more inclusive narratives on the history of modern architecture, considering its manifestations on a world-wide basis, befitting a 21st century perspective, cannot be attained only from a theoretical debate; to put forward such a huge but necessary endeavour it is important to include and (re)consider a wide variety of world-wide examples. With that in mind, this paper will address both theoretical aspects and briefly, a single case study, examining some questions and queries on this subject as a starting point to help put forward a resignification process regarding the concepts and ideas of what should be called Modern architecture, from a broader and complex basis, either historically or geographically. The case study is a multi-cultural, multi-national example reuniting the experiences and peculiarities of two important, non-European, 20th century modernisms: Brazil's Embassy in Tokyo, designed by Brazilian nisei architect Ruy Ohtake.
