About the Book: Sergio Rodrigues em Brasília (1956-1981) revisits key moments in Sergio’s consolidation as one of Brazil’s leading designers. The generation of architects to which he belonged accepted the challenge of building a new capital for the country, following a plan distilled from the ethos of Brazilian modernism and expressed through the realization of Lucio Costa’s urban planning concepts and Oscar Niemeyer’s palaces. For architects like Sergio Rodrigues, the challenge of building a new country was multifaceted. Supported by the winds of hope for more prosperous, generous, and happy times, it ranged from the opportunity to be inventive—creating architectural solutions using novel prefabricated structures to provide mass social housing in Brazil—to taking on Niemeyer’s challenge of furnishing Brazilian modern architecture. This generation worked in Brasília and dreamed of a modernization of the country deeply committed to building a higher standard of living right here. Edited by professor Marcelo Mari, the book features a series of articles written by him and other specialists, covering themes ranging from the sale of furniture for the Catetinho—the first seat of government, improvised at the new capital’s construction site—and the experience of designing sheds and furniture for the newly created UnB, to projects for government palaces, the Itamaraty, the National Theater, and the Cine Brasília.

About the Book: This book chronicles Zanini de Zanine’s creative journey over the past 20 years. Without the pretension of cataloging his extensive body of work, the following collection of images highlights a remarkable ability to expand his fields of investigation and establish new, inventive approaches to different typologies, processes, and materials, while simultaneously updating and preserving a signature style that is easily recognizable as his own. Reinforced by testimonials from experts, colleagues, and partners at the end of the book, this impression is further accentuated when his recent artistic paintings and drawings are brought together with his industrial and artisanal work—the facets for which Zanini is best known—pointing to an unequivocal and prolific two-way street.

Authored by historian Jayme Vargas and photographer Ruy Teixeira, this book brings together national and international galleries and collections to outline the recent appreciation of modern Brazilian furniture production. Featuring texts and photographic essays on 31 collections and galleries dedicated to modern Brazilian design, the book Horizonte ampliado – design moderno brasileiro highlights how this material heritage is perceived today. This perception, solidified over the decades since its inception, identifies these works as an essential part of Brazil's 20th-century modernization efforts. Its pages also reveal the maturation of the contexts surrounding modern Brazilian furniture today, as demonstrated by the high level of expertise and historical perspective found in the collections of the gallerists and collectors featured in the work.

“The development of this book was motivated, among other factors, by the following: initially, by my own twelve-year tenure at the SCEE (School Building Construction Society), during which I had the opportunity to meet José Aracena, who passed away in 1971; subsequently, by a desire to explore the life of Gustavo Mönckeberg, father of fellow architect Hernán Mönckeberg Barros, who served as president of the SCEE from 1969 to 1970 and kindly provided me with the remnants of his father’s archive; and finally, by the goal of documenting their complete and valuable body of work—spanning residential, civil, educational, religious, and funerary architecture—while tracing the natural evolution of the masters who preceded them in the city's development.” - Alfredo Jünemann Gazmuri, 2021.
