Photographer Joaquim Nabuco has found art in the architecture, interiors, and landscapes designed by his fellow Brazilians. Through more than 160 large, lively images, Nabuco welcomes you on a journey to see more than 15 properties, including log homes in the mountains of Rio de Janeiro, beach houses in the resort towns of Bzios and Angra dos Reis, vast gardens on farm estates, restaurants, hotels, and more. Escape to simpler locales where interior and exterior spaces are enriched by stylish simplicity, local folk art traditions, vibrant colors, and a profound harmony with their lush tropical surroundings. Skylights, glass walls, verandas, and outdoor living spaces all offer practical designs for enjoying this paradise and the art of its structures. Featured designers include the painterly and ardent recycler Hlio Pellegrino, impressionistic landscape and golf course designers Sonia Infante and Paulo Antonio Azeredo, and the global modernist giant Oscar Niemeyer. This is an ideal photographic study for art, architecture, and design enthusiasts, students, and teachers.
