1. DE ONDE NASCE A INSP - BrazilIBREEDO?

The greatest inspiration comes from a supposed collective motivation that I particularly absorb that land. I do a kind of psychoanalysis ground. I look at him and wonder where it comes from, what he wants to be, whether or not he has history. If deepen the analysis of the ground it has something to tell. After

2. O SONHO, O OF THETheRIO E A REALIZacaO DO SHOPPIOF METROPOLINATO

What is really in the city center of Rio de Janeiro is the Tijuca Forest. I thought it was very interesting that hook to the project that tells the story of the Tijuca massif. We create the Shopping Metropolitano the second largest green wall in the world, which is the poetic representation of a mountain. On the food court, I suggested that invited the artist Dominique Jardy to produce a 360o panel ride Paineiras, one of the most wonderful tours for us Cariocas.

3. A WITHQUITETTheOUT BRASITHEIOUT E O WORLD

The Brazilian architecture has classic lines and contemporary architecture with our play this Brazilian essence. It is more neutral, simpler to some extent. The sophistication is contained in simplicity. Good Brazilian architectural examples try to be neutral, delicates, subtle, to just let nature express themselves in a more intense way

4. AS THE MALLS ENTERED THE YOUR LIFE?

They decided for me. The world conspired. I was being absorbed by institutions and companies committed to long-standing relations. Because of my psychological and emotional structure I was identifying myself and some companies were identifying with this way of thinking, to make decisions cautious, classical, but contemporary, always dosing these trends. Today is my living universe.

5. HOW ally ARCHITECTURE, BEAUTY AND FUNCTIONALITY IN PROJECTS SO GREAT?

The Office is committed to the prompt work and we make every effort to enable. I think the essence of it is called humility. Humility to listen limitations. Taking the limitations and adding the possibilities, there arise something beautiful. I always think what you can lift respecting intentions, ambitions, dreams. For me, the scholar and the true intellectual is one who can communicate with all democratically.

6. HOW TO DEFINE SUSTAINABILITY IN A MALL PROJECT?

Sustainability is a greater connection to the environment at that particular point. If you can establish a connection from the supply chain that generated the work, to the disposal chain and the very efficient use of space. When I talk connection is to know that any movement begins and does not end, going from one person to another and sustainability goes through this idea.
