Riassunto:Reaching near 30 years of activity, Brazil Architecture establishes a work path among top state-of-the-art architectural Brazilian producers. Back tracking the architects’ progress has shown us that early projects fell under FAU’s current ideology during their student years. As new references yielded ideas and time was passing by Brazil Architecture kept on leading its own character and trends into the architectonic language.

The counterpart aspect added the conviviality of the new together with the old shall be the motto for the whole production being built, from learning at the Pompeia Commerce Social Service (Serviço Social do Comércio – Sesc Pompéia, São Paulo, Brazil), then consolidated throughout the Rodin Museum and finally reaching maturity by the building of the Bread Museum.
