The Little Big World of Flavio Papi began to take shape early in his childhood, when he first started producing models and miniature sculptures. At age six, he began drawing with Augusto Rodrigues at the "Escolinha de Artes do Brasil," followed by a period at the MAM under Ivan Serpa from age seven to twelve. His architectural background—as he is an architect in addition to being a visual artist and model maker—greatly benefited his small-scale projects. Today, Flavio Papi is considered the foremost Brazilian model maker, boasting an extensive and distinguished portfolio of work for advertising, film, and television (including TV Globo, the defunct Manchete, and Record). On February 9, "The Little Big World of Flavio Papi" will open at the Centro Cultural Correios RJ. Curated by Dinah Guimarães, the exhibition offers a retrospective of his more than 60-year career, bringing together drawings, paintings, sculptures, and models.

The Arq.Futuro Cities Laboratory launches a course focused on urban development
Romano Guerra Editora and Galeria Gomide&Co are launching the book Três casas: estratégias de projeto (Three Houses: Design Strategies). The publication explores the design methodologies of three contemporary architecture firms—Pezo von Ellrichshausen, Ryue Nishizawa, and Aires Mateus—to understand each architect's modus operandi through experimental houses: the Poli House (Coliumo Peninsula, Chile, 2005), the Moriyama House (Tokyo, Japan, 2005), and the House in Coruche (Portugal, 2007). These projects point toward an expansion of the architectural lexicon that transcends classical movements—such as modernism and postmodernism—by introducing new aspects: spatial neutrality, ambivalence in the design of boundaries, and the tensioning of abstract forms.
