Lina Bo and P. M. Bardi Institute in Glass House

Abstract

The purpose of this text is to bring to the community of researchers on modern architecture in Brazil information and reflections on the situation of the Lina Bo and P. M. Bardi, including its institutional status, the Glass House, its collection and its role in spreading the work of its founders along the past ten years. This corresponds to a break with the model of family management, the effort to recover its financial and physical assets, and a spontaneous international diffusion, arising from the interest in the work of Lina stimulated by the publications and exhibitions in the first phase of the Institute.
