Lina Bo Bardi is an amazing (Italian born) Brazilian architect who built a wonderful glass house in Sao Paolo 1951 which since 1995 serves as the Instituto Lina Bo e P. M Bardi.
"What does the word Architecture intend to mean? At first, limiting it to the art of building could seem passive and, in an even more restricted way, concern just the house construction. But Architecture is almost implicitly everything which is structure and representation, from the rocks, the skeleton, from the structure of the atom up to the appearance of the spheres that are part of the planetary system. The man made efforts, using the elements that nature gave him, in order to modify and reorganize this same nature, created architectures..." -Lina Bo Bardi
