Over the last few weeks, the editorial team at ArchDaily Brasil has conducted a series of interviews with various Brazilian architects and firms to understand their respective work and creative processes, as well as their use of specific materials, construction techniques, and the unique aspects of developing key projects within their portfolios. In light of the quarantine resulting from the coronavirus pandemic, we have gathered these recent interviews so you can make the most of your days at home. See them below:
23 SUL
Active since 2006, the São Paulo-based firm 23 SUL—founded by partners Gaú Manzi, Ivo Magaldi, Luís Pompeo, Luiz Ricardo Florence, Moreno Zaidan, Tiago Oakley, and André Sant’Anna da Silva—features a portfolio spanning a wide variety of scales. From the domestic to the urban sphere, their projects are developed for both private and public clients, most notably the São Paulo-Morumbi Subway Station on Metro Line 4—winner of the Urbanity category at the 2019 APCA Awards—and the North-South BRT Corridor in São Paulo. In this interview with six of the firm's partners, the architects discuss everything from their design process to the differences between working for public and private clients.
