The 95-year-old Brazilian architect, born in Rio in 1907, is enthusiastic about his first British commission: “My idea was to keep this project different, free and audacious. That is what I prefer”, he has declared. “I like to draw, I like to see from the blank sheet of paper a palace, a cathedral, the figure of a woman appearing. But life for me is much more important than architecture”.
