Guided tour by Sérgio Peres, president of the Residents’ Association, and Marcela Abla, president of the Institute of Architects of Brazil and specialist in the work of Carmem Portinho.

Whit the aim of expanding the repertoire on the production of carioca architecture, we organized in-person visits to some buildings, always accompanied whenever possible by their authors, or researchers on the subject. The idea is to create possibilities and scenarios for conversations and critical reflection about the visited works with guests.

Estudio Flume, based in São Paulo, develops socio-environmental projects in remote areas of Brazil, working in different biomes of a country with a continental scale. The lecture will cover 3 projects from different moments of the office: Headquarters of the Cashew Nuts, in the village of Nova Vida – MA (2018), Canoe Shelter, on the island of Jaguanum – RJ (2020), and Babaçu Breakers Center, in the village of Sumaúma – MA (2022), focusing on the learning process before and during construction as the most important phases in spatializing the words of the communities.

 

After the lecture, a chat moderated by Francesco Perrotta-Bosch, an architecture critic and curator who wrote the profile of what he called “the exceptional Noelia Monteiro” for “The Architectural Review”.
