Lina Bo Bardi 100
The Italio-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi (1914-1992) forged a unique path with her bold designs. Spanning architecture, stage sets, fashion, and furniture, her work drew inspiration from the International Style, which she translated into her own visual language. Fundamental to her work was her thoughtful engagement with her adopted country of Brazil; its culture, society, and politics. She productively and provocatively voiced her sometimes radical views through designs, exhibitions, and writings. On the occasion of Bo Bardi’s one hundredth birthday, this richly illustrated volume presents an overview of her oeuvre and highlights iconic buildings, including her own home, the so-called Casa de Vidro, the Museo de Arte de So Paulo, and the cultural center SESC Pompia.
