Once again, the choice of venue for the São Paulo exhibition was innovative: the Asilo Sampaio Viana, a project by Ramos de Azevedo from the early 20th century, in Pacaembu. It was from this edition that the exhibition embraced the purpose of engaging with the city's heritage – the place underwent a series of improvements, including the restoration of the wooden windows.
The building's spacious areas hosted projects by Gilberto Elkis (in the outdoor area), David Bastos (who used low furniture, which was trendy in Italian design at the time), and newcomers such as Marina Linhares (author of the glassed gazebo) and Alex Hanazaki, responsible for the entrance garden.
CASACOR Rio de Janeiro, on the other hand, was held in a house designed by Oscar Niemeyer in 1952, showcasing elegant spaces such as the living room designed by Lia Siqueira.
