Paulo Mendes da Rocha's Brazilian Museum of Sculpture in
São Paulo, Brazil is a simple yet provocative design
that uses a large beam to give the museum a presence, while
also fulfilling the need for shade and shelter for the exterior
plaza. The architect's sketch, at left (click images for larger
and expanded views), clearly illustrates this idea and its
focus toward the visitors that use the plaza for relaxation,
relief and performances.
