GA Residential Masterpieces 22 - Lina Bo Bardi - Casa de Vidro Sao Paolo

Built in the early 1950s in São Paulo, Lina Bo Bardi’s Casa de Vidro (Glass House) was the first real architectural project she completed after her arrival in Brazil. Built as a home for herself and her husband, it clearly demonstrates how architecture and design should keep a distance from individuals, society or community, and the natural environment - a stance that would come to underlie all of the Italian-born architect’s subsequent works.
