保罗-门德斯-达罗查档案中首次出现的大型回顾展，为其作品带来重要的新启示

保罗-门德斯-达罗查（Paulo Mendes da Rocha，1928-2021 年）是二十世纪中叶以来巴西杰出的建筑师，他从二十世纪五十年代开始从事建筑工作，倡导一种通常与 "野蛮主义"相关联的方法，但又远远超出了这一范畴。他因改变了圣保罗的城市印记而广为人知。他著名的建筑包括巴西雕塑博物馆，该博物馆因其与场地的结合和大胆的结构而引人注目；国家图书馆的翻新工程，采用了大胆的金属嵌件；以及杰出的私人住宅，首先是他自己的住宅。2006 年，他成为继奥斯卡-尼迈耶之后第二位获得普利兹克奖的巴西建筑师。

自 2021 年门德斯-达罗沙的档案在建筑之家（Casa da Arquitectura）建立以来，这本回顾目录是有关门德斯-达罗沙的第一本重要出版物。国际学者团队通过专题论文，全面介绍了这位建筑师的发展轨迹及其作品的集体维度。书中强调了门德斯-达罗沙作为南美建筑师的身份，他对自然与文化之间的地理关系很感兴趣。本书的撰稿人探讨了他对南美大陆发展的社会和人类影响的关注，以及对其殖民历史和后殖民未来的关注。本书围绕他重要的 12 座建筑展开，并重印了两篇关于门德斯-达罗沙作品的重要论文。这将是一本介绍这位全球现代主义重要人物的重要著作，并将为未来有关门德斯-达罗沙和当代巴西建筑的学术研究指明方向。

The first major retrospective to emerge from the archive of Paulo Mendes da Rocha, shining important new light on his work

One of the most acclaimed architects working in Brazil since the mid-twentieth century, Paulo Mendes da Rocha (1928–2021) began building in the 1950s, championing an approach often associated with “Brutalism” but expanding well beyond it. He is widely recognized for having transformed the urban imprint of São Paulo. His best-known buildings include the Brazilian Museum of Sculpture, remarkable for its engagement with the site and its daring structure; the renovation of the Pinacoteca do Estado, with audacious metallic inserts; and outstanding private houses, starting with his own. In 2006, he became the second Brazilian architect, after Oscar Niemeyer, to win the Pritzker Prize.

This retrospective catalogue is the first major publication on Mendes da Rocha since the establishment of his archive at the Casa da Arquitectura in 2021. A team of international scholars provides a comprehensive view of the architect’s trajectory and the collective dimension of his work, along with thematic essays. Mendes da Rocha’s identity as a South American architect interested in the geographic relation between nature and culture is underlined. The book’s contributors explore his concern with the social and anthropogenic impact of the continent’s development, as well as its colonial past and postcolonial future. The volume centers around twelve of his most important buildings and reprints two important essays on Mendes da Rocha’s work. This will be an essential book on this significant figure of global modernism and will point the way for future scholarship on Mendes da Rocha and the architecture of contemporary Brazil.
