Since the dawn of humanity, people have built shelters, houses, and buildings to fulfill different functions in their lives. From the need for survival to the pleasure of combining technology, utility, and beauty in a creation. In each historical period of our civilization, the art of building has been shaped by the habits and customs of those times and places. The art of designing and organizing internal and external spaces according to criteria of aesthetics, comfort, and functionality is called architecture. Architects are the ones who develop the plans, define the materials to be used in the works, and choose the arrangement of objects that determine the ventilation and lighting of each environment. Considered one of the oldest forms of science and art, architecture in the 20th century underwent a profound renewal movement, incorporating new concepts and techniques. Historically, Brazilian architectural production is a world leader. It is a pioneer in technical solutions and strongly representative of our culture. In recent years, in light of socio-economic changes and the major events scheduled for 2014 and 2016, which attract attention and capital, Brazilian architecture has flourished even more. Our series highlights renowned architects whose projects attract worldwide attention. Professionals who understand society and its needs, as well as the dynamic transformations we experience almost daily. With solid knowledge, they design, build, and renovate buildings of all sizes; work in urban development and planning, preservation and restoration of historical heritage; work in interior architecture, perform consulting, advisory and construction management tasks; carry out inspections, reports, evaluations and opinions, and also dedicate themselves to teaching and research. Each has their own style and specialty. What they have in common is artistic sensitivity, socio-environmental awareness, aesthetic excellence and technical expertise.
