OfHouses guest curated by CI-AA: “Amid the division between the Rio and São Paulo “schools”, Sergio Bernardes developed his own architectural style apart from the main Brazilian movements at the time. The design for the Lota House was one of his early projects and the first steel structure house in Brazil. It carefully combines a clear influence from mid-century American architects, such as Richard Neutra and Charles & Ray Eames, with a catalog of vernacular materials. Bernardes believed that the architectural solutions from the Californian Case Study Houses could be easily adapted to the climate in Rio, and its aesthetic would fit well with the aspirations of an emerging and cosmopolitan middle class in Brazil. However, he needed to engage with local craftsmanship in order to achieve the desired structural slenderness, which was not possible due to the lack of standard industrial structures in Brazil at that time. The research and experimentation present in this project prompts us to regard it as a lost, tropical Case Study House.” (Photos: © Leonardo Finotti.

The Resene Architecture and Design film festival is on, with a really good lineup this year. So good it’s hard to prioritise what to see! I recently went to ‘Bernardes’, a film about modernist Brazillian architect Sérgio Bernardes, whom I hadn’t heard of. I recommend the film, which detailed his interesting life and impressive body of work, including many ambitious projects that were never built. Above is a model of his design for Hotel Tropical de Manaus. Photograph: Arquivo Sérgio Bernardes.

Num momento de caos urbano na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, a lembrança da obra e projetos do arquiteto Sergio Bernardessoa providencial. Com a memória resgatada por parentes próximos e estudiosos, a imagem injustamente esquecida do profissional se materializa com ares de gênio bom vivant com ideias tão quiméricas quanto oportunas como bairros verticais, um porto canal ligando as baías, além de uma…
