  2. FAUUSP - Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo e de Design, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil. João Bautista Villanova Artigas, 1961-68.

    On the day we did visit, it was a weekday, but since there was a strike, no students or university staff were around. It was a huge, beautiful, empty, and silent building; almost like a cathedral.

  8. Casa de Vidro - Designed by Lina Bo Bardi as her private residence. São Paulo, #Brazil, 1950-51.

    Lina Bo Bardi designed the house to preserve the natural character of the site. The rear is supported by concrete walls, while the perimeter is surrounded by Mata Atlantica.

    The design reflects the influence of Le Corbusier, particularly in the contrast transparency / opacity.

    Lausanne Building is a pair of identical residential towers designed in 1958 by Franz Heep, pioneer of middle-class apartment housing in São Paulo. Considered a landmark of Brazilian #modernism, it features colorful sliding sun-shading panels that create a changing mosaic effect on the façade. The complex has 15 floors, 60 apartments, 4 per floor, 180 square meters each.

  11. Louveira Building, São Paulo, Brazil.
    Arch. João Bautista Vilanova Artigas, Carlos Cascaldi, 1946-50

    The Louveira Building is a landmark of São Paulo modernism. Designed by João Batista Vilanova Artigas, it reflects his shift from Frank Lloyd Wright’s influence toward Le Corbusier’s rationalism, using concrete structures, columns, and ramps typical of modern architecture.

    On the day we went, it was a weekday, but since there was a strike, no students or university staff were around. It was a huge, beautiful, empty, and silent building; almost like a cathedral. The banner in the center clearly said, “greve = strike.”

  14. 🌿Nature finds a way inside this abandoned 1950s glass factory. Once a prestigious multinational HQ, the site now sits derelict and left to the elements. Inside the Modernist concrete shell are several massive internal atriums. Now, miniature worlds of greenery. A happy byproduct of decades of unchecked growth that is slowly engulfing this lost place.

  15. An ode to Modernist concrete. Rachid Karami International Fair, Tripoli, Lebanon

    This collection of modernist architectural forms was the result of an international collaboration between famed Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer and Lebanese engineers. The architecture is a blend of Brazilian Modernism and Lebanese styles.

    Or, that was the plan. Sadly, this ambitious site remains a sad futuristic ruin frozen in time.
