This São Paulo office, currently led by the two founding partners, Francisco Fanucci and Marcelo Ferraz, from Minas Gerais, had its origins in 1979. Colleagues at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of São Paulo (FAU-USP), together with Marcelo Suzuki, a partner until 1995, incorporated into the firm their trajectories that, from the beginning, were marked by the military dictatorship, in force in the years 60's and 70's – time when the trio was still in graduation. It was in this troubled period in the country's history that much of the humanist character, later manifested in the Brasil Arquitetura projects, emerged.
