The web series Atemporal ‑ A arquitetura permanece features a compilation of nine episodes depicting the various architectural movements that have shaped the history of Curitiba. Launched in 2020, the project spans from the earliest architectural impacts on the city during the colonial era and the influence of immigrants, to Eclectic architecture, Art Deco, and the first glimpses of Modernism, culminating in a denser vertical growth and an internationally recognized urban plan.
The series aims to connect the public with local architectural history. To produce the content, interviews were conducted with specialists, architects, professors, historians, and others involved in the city's construction and vertical growth. The non-profit project emerged from a partnership between Michelangelo and the cultural project Prédios de Curitiba, with additional collaboration from communicator Adriano Tadeu Barbosa. The web series was conceived in response to a growing demand in the city for the preservation of historical knowledge and architectural heritage.
Additionally, the collaborative project Casa da Arquitetura de Curitiba has also been working to document, promote, and facilitate access to this significant architectural production, which, despite its importance, remains little studied and documented.
The released episodes are available on the YouTube channel of Michelangelo Mármores do Brasil, the company that sponsored the web series. The initiative was spearheaded by Michelangelo's director, Priscila Fleischfresser, with visual direction and production by the creative studio Os França and location management, research, and screenwriting by Mayra Abalem.
