“I AM AN ARCHITECT. I BREAK WALLS!“ — LINA BO BARDI

PRECISE POETRY: LINA BO BARDI ARCHITECTURE

GERMANY, AUSTRIA, BRAZIL | 2022 | FR | ENG SUBS | 55 MIN | DOCUMENTARY

DIRECTOR: Belinda Rukschcio

The life and work of Italian-Brazilian architect, Lina Bo Bardi (b.1914–d.1992), will surprise anyone unaware of her achievements. Through insightful interviews with friends and colleagues, we come to recognize Lina’s courage and charm embodied in the dramatic gestures of her built works, just as it becomes clear her intentions were directed less toward self expression, and more toward making cultural institutions to embolden, inspire and protect her adopted population. Featured projects include the paradoxically modest but structurally daring São Paulo Museum of Art (1957–68), and the whimsically monumental community “leisure“ center, SESC Pompéia (1977–86)—the collective and in situ design which participated in a “revolution in the modus operandi of contemporary architectural practice.“ Whether we call her work modern, or post-modern, the best way to understand Bo Bardi’s architectural intentions, methods, and results, is as a kind of living poetry.

LINA BO BARDI

Lina Bo Bardi (b. 1914, Rome – d.1992, São Paulo) was an Italian-born Brazilian architect, furniture designer, set designer, and journalist whose work combines a Modernist sensitivity with a profound commitment to social responsibility. After graduating in architecture in Rome, she began her career in Gio Ponti's studio in Milan. When Bo Bardi lost her studio to an aerial bombardment in 1943 she became an activist of the Italian Communist Party, and subsequently moved to Brazil. Her iconic architectural projects include the Glass House, built in 1951 in Morumbi, São Paulo, Brasil; São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP) designed in 1968; the SESC Pompeia Factory built in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1977–86; and the Casa do Benin designed in Salvador de Bahia in 1988.

PRODUCTION: Muse Factory of Projects

Francesca Molteni’s latest documentary fi lm about Italian architect Renzo Piano gives the audience exclusive access to one of the world’s most infl uential and important architectural fi rms. Through a succession of meetings, phone calls and project reviews inside the Renzo Piano Building Workshop audiences get a truly intimate perspective. In Genoa, Paris, New York and Los Angeles we witness the miracle of creation, watching project sketches transform into buildings we can see and touch. Renzo Piano, the master himself, showcases his extraordinary ability to distance himself from a project, visualize a problem and fi nd a solution. Fragments of everyday life help to construct beautiful architecture and reveal the fi gure of one of the world’s greatest architects.
