V–A–C Sreda online magazine presents a new three-month programme dedicated to air in art and culture. This issue is about Lina Bo Bardi, the Brazilian architect and designer of Italian origin whose works can be seen at GES-2 House of Culture from July to October, 2025.

In this issue, we publish a work by the architectural photographer Nelson Kon. Casa de Vidro, or Glass House, by Lina Bo Bardi, pictured here, was built in 1951 in São Paulo and designed as a family residence. It now houses the Institute of Lina Bo Bardi and her husband, Petro-Maria Bardi.

The building is a classic example of modernism. It is organically integrated into the natural landscape of the Atlantic Forest, rising above the ground on thin columns. Over time, the local fauna has “merged” with the architecture and become an integral part of it.
