Lina Bo Bardi is regarded as one of the most important architects
in Brazil's history. Beginning her career as a Modernist architect
in Rome, Bo Bardi and her husband emigrated to Brazil following the
end of WWII. Bo Bardi quickly resumed her practice in her adopted
homeland with architecture that was both modern and firmly rooted
in the culture of Brazil. In 1951 she designed "Casa de Vidro"
("Glass House"), her first built work, where she and her husband
would live for the rest of their lives. She also designed the Museu
de Arte de Sao Paulo (Sao Paulo Art Museum), a landmark of Latin
American modernist architecture which opened in 1968. It was for
this museum she created the iconic glass easel display system,
which remains radical to date. This book presents a comprehensive
record of Bo Bardi's overarching approach to art and architecture
and shows how her exhibition designs, curatorial projects, and
writing informed her spatial designs. Essays on Bo Bardi's life and
work accompany archival material such as design sketches and
writings by the artist, giving new insight into the conceptual and
material processes behind this radical thinker and creator's
projects.
