Lina Bo Bardi was an architect, curator, designer and writer whose work transformed Brazilian modernism through an unusually social understanding of space. Her major buildings include the glass-and-concrete Casa de Vidro, the Museu de Arte de São Paulo with its suspended gallery volume and glass easels, and SESC Pompéia, which converted a former factory into a dense civic and recreational complex.
