Creative Economy workshops taught by leading professionals helped to
improve skills in four craft activities. Crochet, porcelain painting, ceramics and tufting gained the public's support. On Sundays in October, a
botany fair brought even more activity to CASACOR Brasília, which was the stage for
recordings of podcasts such as those produced by Correio Braziliense, Estilozzo and GPS Brasília with themes focused on Brasília, architecture and interior design.
Julyanne Alves - Praça Ser. Um refúgio em meio ao concreto, a Praça SER, projetada pelo Escritório Alves Design, é um respiro aos visitantes da mostra. O ambiente de 300 m² celebra a brasilidade com uma rica diversidade de plantas e peças autorais de artistas brasileiros. Além da vegetação e do barro dos vasos, drywall e madeira também foram utilizados. O cuidado não foi só estético. O ambiente foi desenvolvido a partir de materiais sustentáveis e obra limpa.

This year's theme, “
Body & Home ,” inspired the
82 professionals participating in CASACOR Brasília 2023. The show's new
masterplan won praise from the public for allowing visitors
unprecedented access to the arena , promoting a completely different tour of the exhibition's two floors, also revealing a view of some of
the capital's most beautiful postcards : the Eixo Monumental and the TV Tower, located in the heart of Plano Piloto.
The 31st edition offered
unique experiences . On the ground floor, eleven spaces were open to the public. Shops, a playroom and a bar with the arena's football pitch as a backdrop. A drink with a view of the stadium's lawn, which hosted games from the World Cup in Brazil and the Olympics.

On the second floor, between the two hundred and eighty-nine 36-meter-high columns that surround the stadium, there is a
square and a
gourmet area : the New restaurant, with a menu created by renowned chef Dudu Camargo, the Boulangerie, by Guillaume Petitgas, the Mandiê pastry shop and the Happy Harry ice cream shop were the gastronomic attractions of 2023.
Studio Vírgula (Carolina Mesquita e Maria Paula Leite) - Praça Áurea. Tendo o horizonte da capital federal como pano de fundo, o ambiente de 400 m² foi criado pelo Studio Vírgula para proporcionar harmonia por meio do conceito do design biofílico. É um espaço de contemplação, onde os pilares redondos existentes no estádio conversam com as formas orgânicas do projeto. Destaque para os bancos criados para o ambiente que são envolvidos por jardins e a utilização de materiais naturais, como granito no piso e madeira no deck. Todo o mobiliário é assinado por designers brasileiros. (Edgard Cesar/CASACOR)
