Installation explores the boundaries between architecture and art at CASACOR Brasília
After a 13-year hiatus, the BLOCO Arquitetos , by partners Daniel Mangabeira, Henrique Coutinho and Matheus Seco, returns to CASACOR Brasília , opened to the public in the last week of August. The concept created by the architects for the space " São Geraldo 40 anos " was based on the idea of creating an immersive experience for the visitor through a space whose design reflects the three fundamental values that have guided the company in its four decades of history: Resilience , Innovation and Relationships.

The theme of this year's exhibition, " Body and Home ", is directly related to the work of São Geraldo , which has been working with materials related to “living” for 4 decades. "All spaces are passage environments, therefore, we wanted to exacerbate the experience of the 'body' journey through a continuous walk through different spaces that use sound and image to explore our impressions about the company's values. Therefore, body and home are the basis of what we present", explains Henrique Coutinho , partner at BLOCO.

The materials used reinforce the identity of each of the environments, but the message to be transmitted aims to go beyond that. Just as the history of São Geraldo mixes with the image of Brasília , the 230 m² space aims to “mix” different understandings, contained in different interpretations according to the individual experience of each visitor.

In addition to São Geraldo, materiality permeated the use of Sollus Shell and Sixties coverings from Decortiles , and a ceramic brick from Del Fávero.
In this context, BLOCO's proposal was guided by the desire to tell this story through an installation that explored the limits between architecture and art , between figurative and abstract representation, uniting sound, light and materiality in representative environments for the trajectory of San Geraldo.

Interactive , the environment will serve as a stage for actions during the exhibition period, such as an exhibition of furniture from Brasilia, a fashion show, activities for children, lectures and other uses.
