“Untitled”

Angelo Bucci holds a degree and a PhD from the School of Architecture and Urbanism – FAU/USP, where he is also a professor. The architect has designed award-winning projects in several places in Brazil and around the world. In 1992, he designed the Brazilian pavilion at Expo 92 in Seville, winning first prize. In 2000, he was nominated for the Mies Van der Rohe International Prize, followed by a nomination for the Ex Aequo Prize at the São Paulo International Architecture Biennial. Bucci is an honorary member of the AIA – American Institute of Architects.

A reference for his generation, Bucci began his career as an associate architect at MMBB and is now the director of the spbr office, which has had several award-winning projects. The architect is influenced by the modernist architecture of Oscar Niemeyer and the Brutalist architecture of São Paulo, a movement of the 1960s, in which Lina Bo Bardi stood out. Bucci's designs often use elements characteristic of these architectural movements, such as reinforced concrete, glass panels and simple lines.

Regarding being an architect, Bucci believes in the importance of considering the various dimensions present in architectural work: “That is why it seems reasonable to me that someone who dedicates themselves to doing architectural projects today should be compelled to consider these two “dimensions”. One that organizes the stone walls on the ground and another that wants to leave this planet.”
