Summary:

Expression of great complexity, freedom of spirit, irreverence never careless, the architecture of Vasco de Mello reveals love for forms, search for architectural diversity and intelligent use of different materials, always considering the place of insertion of the work and its user. What stands out is technical rigor combined with artistic sensibility, resulting in significant contributions not only to society in general but also to architecture and urbanism teaching in particular. Innovative conceptions of spaces and forms, use of colors and textures, respect for diversity and cultural context: the buildings of VM Arquitetos insert the urban landscape of the city in a more contemporary dimension. Illustrated with plans, designs, sketches and photos of an important part of this architect and urbanist's buildings, this work by researcher and M.Sc. Sandra Maalouli Hajli and Ph.D. in Architecture and Urbanism Wilson Florio fills a significant gap in the history of Brazilian architecture.
