Paulo Mendes da Rocha
paulo mendes da rocha is one of the most prominent brazilian architects of our time; although his work is almost exclusively located in south america, his design concepts have spread throughout the world. his first design was built in 1957, three years after graduating from the universidade presbiteriana mackenzie college of architecture, utilizing what many consider to be 'brazilian brutalism', and is widely accredited to the contemporary transformation of his home city. he taught at the university of sao paulo and acted as president of the brazilian institute for architects. for his renovation of the 'pinacoteca do estado' museum of fine arts, he was awarded the mies van der rohe prize in 2000 followed by the coveted pritzker prize in 2006. he now works in collaboration with smaller local firms to complete a range of projects on an international scale. designboom recently visited the renowned architect's studio in sao paulo, in a corner building surrounded by temporary panels exhibiting pro-niemeyer graffiti.
