this post shows 6 groups of images stolen from mendes lecture on friday [advertised in bee-zee here].


[some quick notes:]

JAPAN::
a pavilion in expo 1970 in osaka, japan.
his beautiful sketch is such an impressive intriguing contemporary image!
mendes said that there is a little bit of [necessary] symbolisme on this project since its a project that represents [his] country.
this project "constructs the nature".
ALEXANDRIA::
library of alexandria, competition, 1988.
"total transformation of the place".
the architecture becomes urban planning.
PATRIARCH::
Sao Paulo, 1992.
in order to protect an impressive old mosaic on the floor, he created this big canopy standing in only 2 points.

i forgot to write that it was an amazing lecture:
very brief presentation of the work, in relaxed mood by a humble super talented awarded man.

yes, he got the pritzker price last year!

the patriarch project is indeed very clever... i keep thinking about it.
when i was in brazil i did not notice the mosaic on the ground =[ but i was very impressed by the structure.

it also reminds me a work i developped together with gtroza and have it in my portfolio and people seem to like it:: hope to realize it one day =]

i am wondering if people did look at my previous posts about mendes.

the patriarch project was all over magazines right before the pritzker laureate was announced. The news was not officialy out yet but well, you know it makes sense in retrospect...
