The first major retrospective of the Brazilian modernist
architect's life and work One of the most important architects of
the twentieth century, Lina Bo Bardi (1914-1992) was remarkably
prolific and intriguingly idiosyncratic. A participant in the
efforts to reshape Italian culture in her youth, Bo Bardi
immigrated to Brazil in 1946, where her practice evolved within the
social and cultural realities of her adopted country. While she
continued to work with industrial materials, she added simple
building techniques and naturalistic forms to her designs, striving
to create large, multiuse spaces that promoted public life. Lina Bo
Bardi is the first comprehensive study of the architect's life and
work. Author Zeuler Lima, the leading authority on Bo Bardi,
presents her activities on two continents, examining how ethical
and social considerations influenced her intellectual engagement
with modern architecture and providing an indispensable guide to
her writings and her experimental, iconic designs.
