Inaugurado no final do mês passado, o edifício da Fundação Iberê Camargo situa-se junto ao rio Guaíba e está implantado num lote exíguo parcialmente envolto por uma encosta íngreme. O novo museu é marcado pelo grande volume vertical a que corresponde o espaço de exposição de três pisos, de onde se destacam braços suspensos em betão branco – com alguma ressonância nos devaneios de “concreto armado” de Lina Bo Bardi. É o primeiro projecto de Álvaro Siza construído em território brasileiro, tendo sido premiado com o Leão de Ouro na Bienal de Arquitectura de Veneza de 2002.

Álvaro Siza: Iberê Camargo Foundation
The new building of the Iberê Camargo Foundation is sited in a narrow plot, nearby the Guaíba River. The museum is mainly defined by its vertical volume where the exhibition rooms are located, from which are raised suspended, undulating arms in white concrete – somewhat resonant of the iconic concrete reveries of Lina Bo Bardi. This is the first project by Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza built in Brazilian territory and was honoured by the Venice Architecture Biennale with the Golden Lion award in 2002.

    O nome correto do rio é Guaíba.

    the interaction with the sitio is very interesting, like the relation that it does with lina's architecture. My implication is with the text, the right name of the river is Gaíba and not Guaríba.
    thank you

    The architecture blog A Barriga de um Arquitecto / The Belly of an Architect (written in bilingual Portuguese-English) is mainly focused on contemporary architecture and urban design, covering recent works from Portuguese architects as well as projects of international significance.

    My name is Daniel Carrapa. I was born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1973. I’m an architect living in Évora, a nice historical town that was included in the World Heritage List by UNESCO in 1986. I’m married, have 4 cats – Óscar, Matilde, Margarida, Patanisco – and 1 dog – Moby. Moby is a three-legged dog. He’s okay. I graduated as an architect in 1996 (FAUTL Lisbon Faculty of Architecture). I am also an authority on cat litter and will provide expert advice upon request. I love traveling, watching movies, reading books and draining the battery from my X360 gamepad. In my lifetime I have visited the following countries: India, Nepal, China (Hong-Kong and Macau), Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany and the Netherlands. I have also completed many videogames.

    I love feedback, so feel free to drop me a line to abarrigadeumarquitecto@ gmail.com or meet me on Facebook. I'm also registered on Twitter.
