Lina Bo Bardi

For architect Lina Bo Bardi, drawing was a primordial way of expressing herself, and in her archives in São Paulo, there are close to 6,000 of these works. This small exhibition brings togeter some 100 images of her drawings, and more of her building work and activity as a designer. In the words of the curator, 'In the face of the loss of skill in hand drawing in the arts in general and architectural practice in particular, Lina Bo Bardi's drawings continue to be an always refreshing discovery of the permanent importance and value of free and authentic thought and of skilled and learned hands.'
