Paulo Mendes da Rocha
An authoritative, comprehensive monograph on an underpublished architectural genius. This is the most comprehensive book published in English on the complete work of Paulo Mendes da Rocha, winner of the 2006 Pritzker Prize, which brought him to the attention of a worldwide audience. He is known for the innovative use of concrete and steel in provocative architectural designs that are both critically acclaimed and broadly popular. His striking and poetic use of simple materials is seen in both residential and commercial projects, from Casa Millan to his masterpiece Museo Brasileño de Escultura (1988). The book identifies accomplishments throughout his career, from his beginnings as part of the architectural avant-garde in São Paulo to current works that have helped define and transform urban landscapes. The latter part of the book includes an analysis of the designs, a complete summary of works, and an extensive bibliography.

Designed Future
Designed Future is a journey through the modern era: our life in cities, the Americas, new territories and the old continent, of vision and design as essential tools for building the future. As the most complete collection of essays, interviews and lectures, this book is an in-depth view of the journey and particular thinking of one of the most relevant living architects, the Brazilian modern master, Paulo Mendes da Rocha (1928-2021). For the first time translated in English, it disclosures a must-read intense and provocative thinker in contemporary times.
2G N.45 Paulo Mendes Da Rocha.
Paulo Mendes da Rocha (Vitória do Espírito Santo, 1928) received the Pritzker Prize in 2006. Known internationally as a result of the construction of his Museu Brasileiro da Escultura (MuBE) in São Paulo, his work embraces many different scales, from magnificent single-family houses, by way of major reforms to important buildings and plans for public space, to enormous urbanistic projects. This issue of 2G displays the Brazilian architect's most recent works (some of them hitherto unpublished), all of them built in collaboration with a series of architecture studios, including the Pinacoteca do Estado, the Praça do Patriarca and the FIESP Cultural Centre, all in São Paulo, a chapel in Recife, and urban schemes for Montevideo Bay, Vigo University campus and the port area in Cagliari. Guilherme Wisnik's 'Architecture of the territory' provides us with a number of clues to understanding Mendes da Rocha's career in the context of Brazil, while a choral interview with the architect and his colleagues enables us to understand the process of collaboration and the development of the projects.

PMR Fifty Years
Paulo Mendes da Rocha won the 2006 Pritzker Architecture Prize, bringing him to the attention of a worldwide audience after many years of producing buildings mainly in Brazil. He is known for his provocative use of concrete and steel in innovative architectural designs that are both critically acclaimed and popular. Widely credited with revitalizing the city, Paulo Mendes da Rocha has contributed many notable cultural buildings to his native São Paulo. While perhaps best known for his Brazilian Sculpture Museum in São Paulo (1988), his other notable built projects include the Brazilian pavilion at Expo ‘79 (Osaka, 1969), Serra Dourada Stadium (Goiânia, 1973), Pinacoteca do Estado (São Paulo, 1993), and FIESP Cultural Center (São Paulo 1997). He has also designed furniture, such as the iconic Paulistano Armchair which was reissued in 2004 by French furniture and accessories retailer Objekto.
Paulo Mendes da Rocha
A coleção Documentos de arquitetura moderna será composta de livros cujo conteúdo é, sobretudo, uma homenagem pessoal do autor a excelentes arquitetos modernos do século 20. Homenagem, sobretudo visual, como o leitor comprovará, onde a autoria se funda na dimensão crítica do olhar: para além dos textos introdutórios, a aproximação é dada pelo olhar inquiridor, que busca reconhecer, cúmplice, o essencial das obras arquitetônicas. Helio Piñon, autor do primeiro volume e responsável pela concepção da coleção, reivindica há muito tempo estar na visualidade o âmbito específico do juízo estético. Segundo defende o arquiteto catalão, o desvanecimento da dimensão sensitiva no começo dos anos sessenta do século passado a favor de um conceitualismo estéril, seria uma das causas profundas dos descaminhos da arquitetura mundial nas últimas décadas. A obra de Paulo Mendes da Rocha, abordada nesse volume, seduziu o autor desde o princípio: “quando me encontrei pela primeira vez embaixo da Loja Forma, decidi naquela hora mesmo registrar a minha maneira de ver algumas de suas obras paulistas. Este livro é o resultado desse desejo inicial”.
