Crown Hall says…

This exhibition provides a thorough visual survey of Brazil's modern architecture. Photographs, drawings, and design concepts profile the work of well-established Brazilian architects such as Pritzker Prize laureates Oscar Niemeyer and Paulo Mendes da Rocha. The exhibition's venue, Crown Hall — one of Mies van der Rohe's iconic contributions to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) — is an appropriate location for a meditation on formal simplicity in architecture. The show is co-curated by the College of Architecture at IIT and São Paulo's Escola da Cidade, and includes citations in both English and Spanish.
