This richly illustrated monograph explores the city-building aspirations of the Brazilian modernist masters through their buildings in São Paulo.
In response to the chaotic growth of one of the world’s largest metropolises, architects such as Vilanova Artigas, Lina Bo Bardi, Salvador Candia, Rino Levi, Oscar Niemeyer and Paulo Mendes da Rocha designed numerous buildings. CIVITAS brings together for the first time a unique collection of 19 of these works, proposing a fresh take on them through new photographs especially taken for the book and graphic elements re-drawn by the author.
