Precedent Study- Paulo Mendes da Rocha

Galeria Leme Built in Sao Paulo, Brazil '04 this gallery is a simple example of how one raw material can harmoniously connect with its surroundings. The polished concrete creates intimate spaces alongs with vast walls which can accommodate large scale artworks and installation art. The quality of light is also controlled to produce a neutral comfortable environment. Other works: Brazilian Pavilion for Expo ‘70 Osaka, Japan, 1969 The Brazilian Pavilion, designed for the 1970 Expo in Osaka, Japan, was an architectural study of the relationship between nature and construction. It consisted of a concrete and glass deck, resting lightly on the altered topography. (Photo by Fujita Gumi)
