Text description provided by the architects. Out of 250 registered projects, the young architects from Rio de Janeiro, Murad Mohamad (28) and Jessica Sarrià (28), won the Archathon contest - An architecture competition aimed at professionals that are starting a career. On this project, Jessica and Murad's company was joined by architect Barbara Barbi (26), from Minas Gerais, a state in southeastern Brazil where the project is now on display. Displayed at the 25th CASA COR Minas (a huge architecture, interior design, and landscape exhibition), the trio created a 200 square meters outdoor area, its center is called “OCA”. The space, which will be opened for visitors until October the 13th, stands at Palacio das Mangabeiras. an iconic building created by Oscar Niemeyer, built in the mid-1950s on 42,000 m2 of land in the South of Belo Horizonte - The capital city of Minas Gerais. The palace was also the official residence of those elected state governors. OCA is a very special outer area centerpiece, for it has Serra do Curral as its background, an extremely colorful and powerful mountain range.
