This is the most comprehensive book published in English on the architecture of Paulo Mendes da Rocha, winner of the 2006 Pritzker Prize, which gained him international recognition after working mainly in Brazil for many years. Mendes da Rocha is known for his innovative use of concrete and steel in provocative works that have earned both critical and popular success. His striking and poetic use of simple materials is evident in both his residential and commercial buildings, from the James King and Gerassi Houses to the Brazilian Sculpture Museum and Pinacoteca do Estado, as well as urban planning projects such as Vitória Bay. This visually rich book identifies accomplishments throughout his career, from his beginnings as part of the architectural avant-garde in São Paolo, to current works that have helped define and transform urban landscapes. The latter part of the book includes an analysis of the designs, a complete summary of works, and an extensive bibliography.
