About Dal Pian Architecture

Dal Pian Arquitetos was founded in 1992 as a result of Lilian and Renato Dal Pian's extensive professional experience in Europe, mainly in London and Milan. When they returned to São Paulo, the office quickly gained prominence, winning prizes in design competitions. Among their awards are the revitalization of the center of Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais, in 1994 (2nd place), and first places in projects such as the Reurbanization of Bairro da Penha in São Paulo, the Sanasa Cultural Centre in Campinas, among others. Working on various scales and themes in architecture, combined with constant technical research and investigation, have become hallmarks of the firm's philosophy, based on rigor and sensitivity. Lilian and Renato's academic experience has also contributed to this philosophy, with both having been professors at important educational institutions. Dal Pian Arquitetos' success is also attributable to the excellence of its team of collaborators.

About the GFMF

Set up in 1999 by colleagues from FAU-USP, the FGMF office was born with the aim of producing contemporary architecture, with no restrictions on the use of materials, construction techniques or scales. There are no predefined or rigid formulas: with each challenge, we start from scratch and use drawing as our research tool to develop a new vision of the building, the object and the city.
