Concurso como Prática: A Presença da Arquitetura Paranaense is the title of the documentary featured in the eponymous exhibition on view at the Oscar Niemeyer Museum (MON) until December 12th. Available on YouTube, the feature-length film produced and directed by architects Isabela Maria Fiori and Luiz Gustavo Singeski, in collaboration with Felipe Santos Gomes, presents a comprehensive overview of the participation and awards won by teams from Paraná in architectural competitions.
The documentary features interviews, projects, and works by some of the most prominent figures in local architecture and urbanism, such as Jaime Lerner, José Sanchotene, Luiz Forte Netto, Manoel Coelho, Dilva and Orlando Busarello, Leonardo and Raquel Oba, as well as the new generation, including the architects from Estúdio 41—designers of the Comandante Ferraz Antarctic Station—and architect Mariana Gusmão. It also includes theoretical analyses by exhibition curator Elisabete França and researchers Key Imaguire Junior, Paulo Pacheco, Thais Saboia, and Fábio Domingos Batista.
