Paulo Mendes da Rocha è uno degli architetti contemporanei piú premiati al mondo. La sua opera è interessata a una pluralità di elementi che vanno dalle scienze umane a quelle strutturali, con l’obiettivo di rimettere al centro della riflessione sull’architettura – e della sua pratica – la questione dello spazio per l’uomo. Da questa selezione di testi del maestro brasiliano, tutti finora inediti in italiano, emergono la sua visione e il suo pensiero aperti al mondo e ai temi della contemporaneità, in cui l’architettura svolge un ruolo cruciale attraverso il condizionamento urbano del presente. Il rapporto con la natura, l’ambiente, la geografia e lo spazio della città è costante nell’opera di Mendes da Rocha e, proprio perché “costruendo la città contemporanea realizziamo la piú alta aspirazione dell’uomo”, ciò che emerge dalla sua ricerca è il valore umanistico dell’architettura e la portata rivoluzionaria che essa può avere, facendo leva sull’immaginazione e con lo sguardo sempre rivolto al futuro.

L’architecte brésilien Paulo Mendes da Rocha n’a jamais écrit d’ouvrage à proprement parler, sans doute parce qu’il considérait que la « pensée » de l’architecte s’éprouve exclusivement sur le terrain.En revanche, l’homme engagé qu’il était a multiplié les prises de position et les écrits courts et incisifs. Ce recueil de textes, jusque-là inédits en français, est en cela d’un intérêt indéniable. Témoignage précieux sur son œuvre, il l’est aussi sur la société brésilienne de la seconde moitié du xxe siècle.Ses thèmes de prédilection s’expriment ici de manière très claire : la défense de la démocratie, la modernité, l’accès populaire à la beauté et au confort, la qualité de vie dans les villes et la recherche d’un expressionnisme puissant à l’image de son pays.

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 This issue of 2G displays the Brazilian architect's most recent works (some of them hitherto unpublished), all of them built in collaboration with a series of architecture studios, including the Pinacoteca do Estado, the Praça do Patriarca and the FIESP Cultural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.
