The residence serves as a viewpoint to a privileged slice of nature. The enchanting environment consists of the base of a valley composed of a lake lined with lily pads and a forested mountain. Lodged in a 1000 m² plot, the 533,21 m² of useful space is planned with the aim of experiencing intimacy while also sharing in nature's exuberance. leaving space that can be filled by the sensations and interpretations one has upon gazing at it The toughness and strength of the shapes transform into weightlessness the first impression of entering the "bunker" transforms into the experience of an open space among nature and the coldness generally attributed to concrete and dark colors transforms into coziness that envelops and welcomes These contradictions and dualities of sensations are created by the shapes and materials used to integrate into the human spirit and fills each space with vitality You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email The concrete blades sprang from an elevated platform each one resting on an impossibly minimal edge rising to a point where pairs of taut cables held a steel roof shell in tension allowing views into the action from all around The architect of this bold balancing act was Paulo Mendes da Rocha after a 60-year career as one of the greats of Brazilian modernism which catapulted him to national prominence at the age of 30 exemplified the approach he would pursue for the coming decades: it was a feat of concrete acrobatics on a heroic scale “The first idea of any project should be a structural idea,” he told me when I met him in 2017, on the occasion when he received the RIBA royal gold medal in London “You can only imagine what you know how to build.” An architect without engineering knowledge Mendes da Rocha always said that he learned his technical discipline from his father who was a prominent engineer and designer of ports Paulo would be taken to see infrastructural works and marvel at the sheer concrete heft of docks and dams whose muscular forms would later find their way into his own buildings his projects were imbued with a primal tectonic force standing as tough pieces of civic infrastructure They were built to stand the test of time – and the vagaries of changing political regimes The futuristic Paulistano Athletic Club in São Paulo Mendes da Rocha was blacklisted for half of his career When the military dictatorship seized power in Brazil in 1964 he and his fellow left-leaning architects were dismissed from their university teaching posts and had their architectural licences revoked He was forbidden from running his own office for almost 25 years Yet the buildings he would complete from the 1990s onwards remain some of the most compelling in Latin America enjoying a revival in recent years with a renewed appreciation of brutalism in Brazil’s south-eastern state of Espírito Santo Mendes da Rocha was the son of Angelina Derenzi The family moved to São Paulo when Paulo junior was still a child He studied at the city’s Mackenzie University receiving his degree in architecture in 1954 and opened his own office the following year winning the competition for the Paulistano Athletic Club two years later There was a social agenda behind their work “Unlike many people who are afraid of poverty I think everything superfluous is irritating Everything that is not necessary becomes grotesque especially in our time.” His buildings are stripped down to their bare essentials But they are also generous – not in their excessive use of materials and finishes and how they open up the ground plane for all to use “All space is public,” Mendes da Rocha said “The only private space that you can imagine is in the human mind.” In 1969 he won a project that would project him to international fame: a pavilion for the 1970 Expo in Osaka he conjured a vast concrete waffle slab and made it appear to levitate over an undulating landscape which rose up to support the great weight of the roof at just three delicate points It was another daring demonstration of his engineering prowess it was so well received that the local university wanted to keep it as a dance school for children They had it demolished to make an example of him The day after he won the Osaka project, Mendes da Rocha had his architect’s licence revoked. Many of his contemporaries fled the country: Niemeyer went to Paris, where he designed the Communist party headquarters; Vilanova Artigas left for Uruguay “I had five children and I didn’t want to abandon the country I had friends who were arrested and murdered Brazil is still living with the consequences of that period today – our current state of crisis is a hangover from those days.” seeming to make a hefty concrete box float above delicate glass walls the whole thing magically cantilevered from a single column For the Brazilian Museum of Sculpture he carved out a brooding underground bunker burying the galleries below a terraced sculpture garden with a 60-metre long concrete beam flying overhead When asked why he did not opt for the more obvious solution of a building with a sculpture courtyard in the middle he simply replied: “It would hide the things that happen there and the city would be excluded in some way.” Mendes da Rocha maintained an office of one He was based in a modest room in the crumbling 1940s headquarters of the Institute of Brazilian Architects its walls lined with blackboards on which he would sketch out his structures with incredible freehand precision He was showered with international gongs late in life – winning the Mies van der Rohe award in 2000, the Pritzker prize in 2006 and the RIBA gold medal in 2017 – but not every project was a hit.

The Mororó House is in a mountainous region, 180 km from the city of São Paulo, known for its low temperatures. The architecture sought to create generous internal spaces for the cold days, such as, for example, a cozy living room and an enclosed bathhouse with a pool, where the views can be appreciated while being protected by a skin of glass. Externally, the same continuous volume creates a duality between an opaque block – where the living room, bedrooms and service areas are – and the transparent stretch of the heated pool and sauna. The volumetry of the house was given by a sixty-five meters extrusion of an icon-house, with pitched roof. Furthermore, an external wooden deck connects the spaces and creates a solarium to be used during the summer months. © Fernando Guerra | FG+SGThe house was not situated on the top of a rugged site, as initially desired by the clients, but in its lowest part – in the midst of a beautiful forest of pine trees. This solution allowed the building to be surrounded by nature, creating an intimate relation with the site. © Fernando Guerra | FG+SGThe initial premise of the project was to have a quick and cheap construction. Therefore, the architecture found industrialized solutions such as metal structures and steelframe walls. The site, despite high rainfall, remained always clean. Unlike the Brazilian constructive culture, few elements were made entirely on site, but instead mounted or assembled there. The time to build this house was less than the usual, even with the site’s difficult access.  © Fernando Guerra | FG+SGThe use of the internal materials like the traditional chalets in the mountains Following the desires of the future residents the kitchen could be integrated to the spaces via wooden sliding doors – that could be entirely opened it was not only possible to design ample and continuous spaces on the inside but also to have central spaces for the quotidian life which organized the house plan The page you are looking for does not exist the festival promises to shine once again in the Serra da Mantiqueira From June 29th to July 28th, the Campos do Jordão Winter Festival Latin America’s largest classical music event the festival is a real cultural treat for classical music lovers and the general public the festival is taking place in three venues in Campos do Jordão: the Claudio Santoro Auditorium Capivari Park and the São Pedro Apóstolo Chapel as well as two venues in São Paulo: Sala São Paulo and Mackenzie Presbyterian University Admission is free, but tickets are only available three days before each performance.
