This catalog is part of a curatorial cycle born from the stimulating—and certainly challenging—invitation from the Embassy of Brazil in Chile to propose a project for the conclusion of Brazil’s bicentennial independence celebrations, developed through a gallery ship for architecture. Our decision to focus on the figure of Lina Bo Bardi was made quickly, as we did not see in any other reference of modern architecture that capacity to engage with the core of Brazilian culture and, at the same time, anticipate current revisions of ecology, feminism, or colonialism that, without labeling them as such, permeated her work and established it to this day as an inexhaustible reference in contemporary disciplinary discussions.
