Major Works of Paulo Mendes da Rocha

Paulo Mendes da Rocha (born 25 October 1928 in Vitória) is a Brazilian architect. He was recently honored with the 2006 Pritzker Prize, and in 2000 with the Mies van der Rohe Prize. Paulo attended to Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie College of Architecture, graduating in 1954.[1] Working almost exclusively in Brazil, Mendes da Rocha has been producing buildings since 1957, many of them built in concrete, a method some call "Brazilian Brutalist" arguably allowing buildings to be constructed cheaply and quickly. He has contributed many notable cultural buildings to São Paulo, Brazil and is widely credited as enhancing and revitalizing the city. Mendes da Rocha is the second Brazilian architect to win the Pritzker Prize after Oscar Niemeyer in 1988.
