Leading art historians, architects, designers, artists, and
urbanists share new perspectives on this visionary architect's
material legacy Lina Bo Bardi (1914-1992) is renowned for her
boldly modernist designs like the Sao Paulo Museum of Art and the
culture and leisure center SESC Pompeia. An artist, architect,
designer, writer, and activist, she was a tireless champion for
local craft and materials. Her democratic designs were inclusive
and stood as an open invitation to those typically excluded from
elitist institutions, embodying an aesthetic that stood out among
the modernist movement in Brazil and abroad. This collection of
essays presents new perspectives on Bo Bardi from leading
contemporary artists, architects, curators, and scholars.
Contributors engage with the conceptual, social, and political
philosophies latent in the architectural materials she chose-from
her application of concrete to her implementation of nature and her
reuse of vernacular materials. Beautifully illustrated and
featuring seven gatefolds, Lina Bo Bardi: Material Ideologies sheds
vital new light on the ideological strategies inherent in Bo
Bardi's iconic projects and lesser-known work. Distributed for the
Princeton University School of Architecture
