CASACOR's Heritage


For those who appreciate the architectural and art trends exhibited every year at CASACOR, the Park is also a place rich in pieces that were part of the collection of past exhibitions, such as the multisensory installation called Cuboesia , designed by Bel and João Diniz for the 2019 exhibition. On each of its sides, almost four meters high , the cube reveals different six-verse poems .

Already the Labyrinth Playground , a space created by the Vazio S/A office at CASACOR 2022, created a series of creative routes and a fun climbing frame at the top of the structure that can be accessed by people of all ages.

Antonio Grillo - Ninho de Guaxo. Feita de vergalhões de aço, a estrutura conforma uma trama similar a um ninho de guaxo. A disposição de cada vergalhão articula estabilidade e intenção estética. Internamente, uma tela branca vazada delineia de maneira diáfana o espaço, destacando a estrutura de aço na paisagem e atuando como superfície refletora para a iluminação junto ao solo. Na parte interna da edificação, confere uma especial dramaticidade ao volume. (Daniel Mansur/CASACOR)

Another structure that steals the eye and stands out is the Ninho de Guaxo , a mesh of steel rebar designed by Antonio Grillo also for the 2022 exhibition.
