Lina Bo Bardi is an icon of modernist architecture in Brazil. Although born in Italy, she eventually decided to stay in Sao Paulo. In 1951 she completed her first project, the “Glass House” in a town south of Sao Paulo. The house is now a national architectural monument and is known for its refined details and the use of items associated with advanced manufacturing techniques and for being an “open house”. The vertical structure of the house is composed of steel tubes, with slabs and other structural elements of reinforced concrete.
