The new building of the Iberê Camargo Foundationis sited in a narrow plot, nearby the Guaíba River. The museum ismainly defined by its vertical volume where the exhibition rooms arelocated, from which are raised suspended, undulating arms in whiteconcrete – somewhat resonant of the iconic concrete reveries of Lina BoBardi. This is the first project by Portuguese architect Álvaro Sizabuilt in Brazilian territory and was honoured by the VeniceArchitecture Biennale with the Golden Lion award in 2002.
