Brazilian architect Carol Bueno, born in 1975 and co-founder of the French-Brazilian firm Triptyque Architecture, passed away early Monday morning after battling brain cancer for the past year.
Bueno had an outstanding career, designing projects that shape the landscape of São Paulo and other cities in Brazil and worldwide. She also sought to address the challenges of emerging cities, developing methods and tools to analyze and transform urban spaces and modern construction. Her research also encompassed the use of wood in high-rise buildings in Brazil and design solutions for "tropical architecture"—as she liked to call the approaches her firm adopted to address the Brazilian climate and its relationship with water.
Triptyque Architecture released a statement on its official Instagram account:
Triptyque Architecture expresses deep sorrow over the passing of Carol Bueno, 46, founding partner of Triptyque, after a courageous year-long battle for her health. Today, architecture loses a brilliant professional, dedicated to the transformation toward more open and inclusive cities and respect for the environment. We, her partners, Greg Bousquet, Gui Sibaud, and Olivier Raffaelli, and the entire Triptyque team in Brazil and France, are today filled with sadness and grief. To her family and countless friends, our love and affection. Wake and burial restricted to family.
Take a look back at some of the projects designed by the architect that have been published on ArchDaily:

The ArchDaily Brasil team deeply mourns this loss and extends its heartfelt strength to Carol's family and friends, especially her daughter, Zoe.
