São Paulo Museum of Art MASP, Brazil

Lina Bo Bardi designed the Museu de Arte de São Paulo in Sao Paulo Brazil, completed in 1968. Punching beams of concrete and elevated walls of glass stand as a monument of Brutalist architecture in Brazil. It contains 8,000 pieces of the West’s and international fine art.

The museographic room has tempered crystal sheets tipped onto the raw concrete like a painter’s easel in the messy studio. Many rooms are designed in the Iberian-Brazilian tradition of a paved square surrounded by plant-life.
