A Parede de Lina Bo Bardi

Lina Bo Bardi is one of Brasil's most beloved architects and activists. She was born in Italy, but made her home in Brasil and became forever entangled in the art and politics and soul that govern the country.

This is one of her buildings in Salvador, arguably not the best photo, but a good taste of her work - the texture, the alternate fluidity and material strength, the placement (it´s on a fairly untraversed hill that connects the lower city - Cidade Baixa - from the upper city - Cidade Alta).
