Estúdio 41 is a name frequently seen on lists of design competition winners throughout Brazil. Based in Curitiba, the architecture firm was born out of a collaboration between architects who graduated from UFPR, dedicating its energy to developing competition proposals where inquiry, experimentation, and innovation find fertile ground. What is striking is that the team—composed of João Gabriel Rosa, Martin Kaufer Goic, Eron Costin, Emerson Vidigal, and Fabio Henrique Faria—has achieved a remarkable success rate, with completed projects such as the Antarctic Station and the Fecomércio Headquarters.
