Metamorfosis bobardianas

Italian Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi, proposes an innovative and contemporary way of understanding the city. In the Ladeira da Misericórdia project developed at Salvador de Bahía (Brazil), we find a new equilibrium between architectural spaces and natural landscapes. This harmony activates the future growth of the city, its limits and its historical development. Her project provides a new atmosphere for the place, a new point of view.
In her proposal for São Paulo's Nova Prefeitura we find a building covered by a huge garden providing the place with a renovated atmosphere, dissolving the boundaries of the park where it is located: a new layout juxtaposed on the city that rediscovers and redefines the limits between it and the park, through a large metropolitan multifunctional void stimulating collective activities.
The relationship between geography and the city is her way of reading nature. Her architecture interprets the existing landscape and the later constructs her architecture.
Through the projects analyzed here, Ladeira da Misericórdia in Salvador de Bahía and São Paulo's Nova Prefeitura, we infer how Lina Bo Bardi threads architecture, anthropology and nature: Bobardian metamorphosis.
