The exhibition ‘Lina Bo Bardi at the Arcam gallery in Amsterdam: Together’ is a tribute to the legacy of the Italian-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi (1914-1992): an architect whose work has particular relevance today as a source of inspiration for new generations of builders, users and architects.
Pragmatic and socially engaged, Bo Bardi was an architect for whom people were the focus and starting point of designing. Wholly averse to what she called ‘architectural acrobatics’, working with small budgets, in consultation with users and utilizing whatever was available, she realized projects that stand out both architecturally and socially.
