Mies van der Rohe no Brasil: projeto para o Consulado dos Estados Unidos em São Paulo, 1957-1962

In the Mies van der Rohe’s Garland archive of the Museum of Modern Art of New York, is published a series of sketches, notes and technical documents, referring to the 1957 Mies van der Rohe’s project for the consulate of the United States in São Paulo. The analysis and organization of all material published in the catalogue, had allowed to some important conclusions about the evolution of the proposals and recognition of the techniqueconstructive decisions for the project of the consular building. Through the analysis of the graphical material, since the first sketches until the detailing phases of the proposal final, important references of already knew Mies’s projects had been established, that had certainly served as base for the project of the architect in Brazil. As analytical party to suit, good part of the project was redesigned architectural. The search for references in developed projects, simultaneously, or already existing, allowed to accede to a sphere of "constructive" relations already sufficiently related by the critical ones during years, but that never it leaves of being surprising, over all because it gives credit that there one of the great values for the project architectural can inhabit.
