Hello tom c, not at all and I too should apologise for my loose comments. Thank you for taking the time to correct my mistake with a detail explanation. I was off the mark in trying to coax out more than just the seemingly obvious cross referencing and influences on newly built. Long after Frampton, the 3-4yrs “recent” statement was from a “style” magazine (I’ve completely forgotten the publishing) more about “new” art rather then architecture. I have gone off on the wrong tangent. This won’t be the last humble pie I’ll eat, that’s for sure, and I am more then happy to be stand corrected. Cheers and I’ll be more mindful of my future statements.

francis, I am sorry if my comment seemed aggressive, it was not my intention. I guess I was just surprised at the fact that you didn´t know more of architecture from Brazil especially since you quoted Kenneth Frampton and his concept of Critical Regionalism, which uses the Brazilian modernist architects along with those of Finland, Japan… as examples. The works of Niemeyer, Lucio Costa, Affonso Reidy and others are considered representative of a period of the modern movement, after the second world war, in which several dogmas were loosened. Also representative of this is Le Corbusier´s Notre Dame du Haut, which, no doubt was influenced by his connection with the Brazilians architects and their works, specifically Oscar Niemeyer´s.

As for B+J´s building, it is very beautiful but I don´t believe it´s a specifically significant one. It follows the firms language which, although evolving, is essentially that of Claudio Bernardes, who, along with Paulo Jacobsen, was the founding associate. In 2002 following Claudio´s death, Thiago, his son, became Paulo´s partner and ever since their architecture has been slowly becoming more formalist or expressionist (in some ways more similar to Niemeyer), but basically it has remained a result of constructive logic, which can be perceived in the quality of the details. All of this probably owes itself to the fact that the firm for the first many years worked almost exclusively with interior design, afterward expanding to residences (to this day most of their works are houses).

waxman, I do agree with you, although, in Brazil at least, we are really limited by the fact that most of construction is undertaken by a speculative construction industry driven by engineers who´s only goal is profit without any consideration for urban or architectural quality. Also at times I feel that there aren´t enough quality architecture schools in Brazil, which can also under develop future architects. A clear example of this is the current state of Rio de Janeiro´s architecture, which in the 40´s, 50´s and 60´s concentrated the greatest architects in the country (all graduated from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) and now is quite inexpressive. Bernardes + Jacobsen is originally from Rio, but in the past years has been gradually moving to São Paulo which is now the booming center of architecture in Brazil, especially due to the Architects from the University of São Paulo. In essence I feel that, given the size of the country, there to be many more quality schools and less concentrated in few focal points.

I do see alot of beautiful new and amazing architecture from Latin America, but in traveling there I rarely see it!! I haven’t been everywhere, so maybe others can correct me, but from what I have seen it seems that there are a few amazing gems of buildings with such fresh thinking that puts the US and Europe to shame, but the over all quality of everyday architecture and urbanism is horrific! In the united states, if 10 buildings are built in a city, all ten of them will not be masterpieces, but they will be of some design quality..someone actually thought about the design. They will probably be very boring and unoriginal, but they will be decent. From what I see in Latin America, if 10 buildings are built, 1 will be AMAZING and 9 will be HORRIFIC! I think that this is changing judging on the amount of young architects and the rate of development in this area of the world, but right now it seems like a lot of unskilled architects have a lot of money to play with in these countries. Thank you AD for picking the best to show us!!

“3-4 years??? Brazil has been the birthplace of unique architecture at least since the 1940´s.” – tom c. I have no doubt about that … 3-4yrs is just a shorten version of a complete statement. I like what B+J do and I was hinting at a Neutra/American/past masters connections rather than B+J or Latin American architectural heritage. I am interested in every project as presented, here in particular, how they have arrived at those particular planning and solutions.
