Summary:
La cifra identitaria della produzione di Paulo Mendes da Rocha si origina nelle geometrie del suo pensiero creativo, per poi tradursi in poetica del costruire, espressa in un’architettura di sorprendente essenzialità compositiva e sapere tecnico, in grado di accompagnare il divenire delle società. Pur radicate nella realtà contingente, e incessantemente alimentate dalla quotidianità del contesto, le opere del progettista brasiliano esprimono le sue capacità trasformative, proiettandosi in nuove spazialità, sino ad interpretare, con coerenza costante, i sentimenti di un popolo e di un’era. Nel presentare la figura di Mendes da Rocha rimarcando l’attenzione su alcuni aspetti sostanziali del suo fare architettonico, quali la riflessione sull’urbano, la metodologia progettuale e la sapienza costruttiva, il volume approfondisce tre opere della contemporaneità. Copertura di Praça do Patriarca, SESC 24 de Maio e Museu Nacional dos Coches sono presentati come emblemi della sua visione dinamica, immaginifica e al contempo realistica, alla quale va associato il carattere durevole delle sue realizzazioni, qui lette in un perenne divenire.

Summary:
Two residential buildings by Brazilian architects are studied in depth in this volume. Invisible from the street, Angelo Bucci's house reveals itself in sequences until one reaches the highest point--and 360-degree views. Carla Juaçaba's vacation house in a remote, virgin forest is a small solitaire.

Summary:
Advocating an architecture that is "the opposite of global action," architect Angelo Bucci's work responds to the topography of the city and to its urban environment. In a lecture delivered at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Bucci discusses work designed with his firm SPBR, projects that span from the scale of the house to the city. His built work is here accompanied by an excerpt from his doctoral dissertation, which explores how the devices available to architecture—and the sectional manipulation of groundplanes in particular—can mitigate some of the inequities and exclusions built in to the fabric of the contemporary city. An essay by Kenneth Frampton frames these projects within the rich lineage of Brazilian house design and members of the Paulista school such as Paulo Mendes da Rocha and João Batista Vilanova Artigas.
