On May 28th, at 4 pm,
CASACOR Brasília will hold the operational meeting for the 2024 show at Espaço Casa do Casapark. The technical meeting brings together cast, crew, suppliers and partners and begins the assembly work for the 32nd edition of the architecture, interior design and landscaping show, scheduled for the period from August 15th to October 16th – for the third consecutive time, at Arena BRB Mané Garrincha. Construction work will begin on June 3 and will create a new
masterplan overlooking the football field, the venue for football matches and international concerts. The space will cover 7,000 m² and will feature around 50 spaces spread across two floors, inspired by “
De presente, o agora” (From the present, the now ), the theme of CASACOR 2024, which proposes a revival of ancestry and invites reflection on the legacy that the planet wants to leave for future generations.

“The proposal is an immersion in our cultural biodiversity, in the beauty of our origins. The theme also calls us to listen to the voices of the guardians of the planet, who through their lifestyles have the wisdom necessary to heal the earth”, observes CASACOR curator, Livia Pedreira. “Our work cannot be dissociated from the world and the transformations that are happening. The theme is an opportunity for us to reflect on the future and value our roots, our ancestry and reflect on which ancestors we want to be”, adds the content and relationship director of CASACOR, Pedro Ariel Santana.
During the technical meeting, the winner of the 11th São Geraldo Young Professional Award will be announced, who will design the public restroom for this year's show. The 7th Correio Braziliense/CASACOR Brasília Award will also be held, which selects the best spaces in the show through popular vote and a technical jury.
