Some of the most well-known buildings in the São Paulo landscape and in major metropolises around the world bear his signature, even if few can precisely define his architectural style. This difficulty, far from being a problem, is part of the enigma and strength of Isay Weinfeld, a creator whose work escapes easy labels and defies rigid classifications. However, reducing him solely to architecture would be a mistake. Over five decades of intense and coherent production, the São Paulo-based architect has built a trajectory that traverses design, visual arts, and cinema with rare fluidity. These multiple fronts of activity will be brought together in Etcétera, the most comprehensive exhibition dedicated to his career, which will occupy the Instituto Tomie Ohtake from March 5 to May 17.

On May 30, Jean-Michel Othoniel will inaugurate his first institutional exhibition at the Instituto Bardi – Casa de Vidro. Titled "Poetic Living," the exhibition presents new works by the French artist, created specifically to occupy the house in dialogue with the architecture and body of work of Lina Bo Bardi.
