Summary
A master at interpreting a construction's essential elements, Paulo Mendes da Rocha is Brazil's most famous and productive modern architect. Mendes da Rocha's success is based on his ability to incorporate International Style design within the tropical Brazilian landscape. The relationship between his buildings and the space they occupy -- both their physical and cultural context -- demands our attention, as do the acuity and perception with which he implements his projects.
