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.
