SEEKING A WAY OF LIVING CARIOCA. Rio de Janeiro / Brazil / 1985
5
In 1985 I was asked to do this project in Rio de Janeiro, Barra da Tijuca more like the side with Miame land of Rio. The client sought Brazilian identity in its design, the use of wood was inevitable.
Mandala, a condominium high-middle class, had their income housing set, but this house would have to have a differential. The form of constructive processes of locks was a simple, modular feature of a part that would repeat itself creating a dashboard in high and low relief.
The being inside or outside becomes a big joke but respecting the privacy of the residents, transparency is something extremely subtle giving more light to the surroundings, the everyday guy has a good Sunday.
