LUCIO COSTA – ARQUIVO

What if the most revealing aspect of an architect were found not only in the works they built, but also in the papers they kept? Lucio Costa Archives reveals the extraordinary intellectual and human breadth of one of the foremost figures of modern architecture. Drawing on his personal estate — drawings, letters, notes, traces of everyday life — a vibrant universe emerges in which personal gesture coexists with writing, memory and lived experience. Rather than merely revisiting his architectural work, it highlights the ongoing vitality of a thought in action: the construction of Brasília, the international networks of modernism, the dialogue with Portugal, and the persistent attention to ways of inhabiting and living in community.
