It was a delightful meeting with students and researchers at the Estácio de Sá University, Praça XI campus, in Rio de Janeiro.
Fernando Mendes presented today at the Week of Architecture and Urbanism at the University the lecture “Sergio Rodrigues, Six Decades of Design” promoted by the Institute.
In addition to hearing memorable stories from Sergio Rodrigues, everyone was able to learn about the Institute's work in organizing the master's collection. Project sponsored by Itaú and carried out by the Ministry of Culture.
“I already knew and admired Sergio Rodrigues' furniture, especially the Mole armchair, his most famous piece. In the lecture promoted by the Institute, I discovered his work in architecture and illustration. The Institute's initiative in enhancing the trajectory of the master of Brazilian design is incredible. The conservation of his work is very important, but also of his personal records. After all, he is a remarkable character in the history of Brazil.
