Lina Bo Bardi, an architect born in Rome in 1914, graduated from the Architecture Faculty of Rome University in 1940. Soon after this she moved to Milan, where she worked for Gio Ponti and edited the magazine Domus. The war over, she emigrated to Brazil in 1946 with her husband Pietro Maria Bardi, an art historian and critic. It was in Brazil, a country whose nationality she would later assume, that she developed her professional career in the field of architecture and industrial and interior design. The radical, modern focus of her work is impregnated with a wish to reconcile popular culture and everyday life, to do away with the distance between high and low culture. Her built architectural work possesses the conceptual and material forthrightness for which it is generally known, although she undertook a great many unbuilt projects. Only her built works are presented in this number of 2G. Foremost among these are probably the famous House of Glass (the Bardis' own home), the MASP (São Paulo Art Museum) and the SESC Pompéia Factory, all of them in São Paulo.

Built in the early 1950s in São Paulo, Lina Bo Bardi's Casa de Vidro (Glass House) was the first real architectural project she completed after her arrival in Brazil. Built as a home for herself and her husband, it clearly demonstrates how architecture and design should keep a distance from individuals, society or community, and the natural environment - a stance that would come to underlie all of the Italian-born architect's subsequent works. Photographed by master architectural photographer Yukio Futagawa, Casa de Vidro still appears as its designer intended, a prototype that responded to a new society, rising directly from the earth and embedded in the surrounding jungle.
