.. Brazil inside out..

 

I have fond memories of a trip to Brazil. Next to the hospitality of its people it was one month long full of nature, cities, modern architecture and history. The two architectural highlights were the Casa de Canoas of Oscar Niemeyer in Rio de Janeiro and all the work of Lina Bo Bardi. What I like especially is the relation of houses inside to outside.

Recently I came across the work of Brazilian architect  Marcio Kogan. His office MK27 made a beachhouse and house V4 where inside is outside. Probably not for the Dutch climate, but these are my dream houses.
