Abstract

Paulo Mendes da Rocha (Vitória do Espírito Santo, 1928) received the Pritzker Prize in 2006. Known internationally as a result of the construction of his Museu Brasileiro da Escultura (MuBE) in São Paulo, his work embraces many different scales, from magnificent single-family houses, by way of major reforms to important buildings and plans for public space, to enormous urbanistic projects. This issue of 2G displays the Brazilian architect's most recent works (some of them hitherto unpublished), all of them built in collaboration with a series of architecture studios, including the Pinacoteca do Estado, the Praça do Patriarca and the FIESP Cultural Centre, all in São Paulo, a chapel in Recife, and urban schemes for Montevideo Bay, Vigo University campus and the port area in Cagliari. Guilherme Wisnik's 'Architecture of the territory' provides us with a number of clues to understanding Mendes da Rocha's career in the context of Brazil, while a choral interview with the architect and his colleagues enables us to understand the process of collaboration and the development of the projects.

Abstract

This is the most comprehensive book published in English on the architecture of Paulo Mendes da Rocha, winner of the 2006 Pritzker Prize, which gained him international recognition after working mainly in Brazil for many years. Mendes da Rocha is known for his innovative use of concrete and steel in provocative works that have earned both critical and popular success. His striking and poetic use of simple materials is evident in both his residential and commercial buildings, from the James King and Gerassi Houses to the Brazilian Sculpture Museum and Pinacoteca do Estado, as well as urban planning projects such as Vitória Bay. This visually rich book identifies accomplishments throughout his career, from his beginnings as part of the architectural avant-garde in São Paolo, to current works that have helped define and transform urban landscapes. The latter part of the book includes an analysis of the designs, a complete summary of works, and an extensive bibliography.
