With a happy hour for journalists and influencers,
CASACOR Brasília presented for the first time, on August 11, the
50 projects that make up its 33rd edition. For the first time at the
Casa do Candango, the exhibit takes place from August 13 to October 12, gathering
67 professionals – including architects, landscape designers, and interior designers – under the theme “
Sowing Dreams”.
The concept unfolds into three pillars: “Collective Dreams”, which proposes a sustainable and collaborative future; “Ecosystems in Cooperation”, which integrates city and nature; and “Confluence of Knowledge”, which values the union of cultures and disciplines for innovative solutions. The projects explore
affective and regenerative living,
with references to the Brasília identity, such as the red soil of the Cerrado, and sustainable processes.

The Casa do Candango, built in 1977 and abandoned for a decade, underwent
extensive restoration before the opening. Facades, glass, floors, water tanks, roofs, and hydraulic and electrical systems were restored, as well as new gardens and parking spaces. The improvements, necessary for the event, leave a legacy for the city.
