A monumental intervention on the façade of Brazil’s tallest skyscraper at the time, the Mirante do Vale. Across 37 floors, an orange construction safety net transformed the building into a visible manifesto during the São Paulo Biennale: a statement for an art that does not merely occupy urban space but transforms it.

Alongside this, MAYO and the co-curators Michelle Castro and Leonardo Finotti presented the exhibition Art towards Architecture, featuring twelve large-scale collages based on photographs of Brazilian Modernism by Leonardo Finotti.

“In the Renaissance, architecture, art, and sculpture formed a holistic discipline.
A similar, contemporarily reduced attitude shapes the new headquarters of the Swiss Federal Railways”

Space, structure, and artistic thinking meet on equal terms. Art is not added; it is conceived as part of an architecture that creates identity and orientation.

A site-specific intervention using colored glass, aluminum, and concrete.
Translucent “glass shards” define each apartment in relation to its neighbors, creating a subtle play of light, movement, and perspective. By night, a luminous LED band turns the building’s silhouette into an abstract sculpture in the sky.

An example of how architecture and art enrich one another in public space.
Drawing on traditions of façade art and Constructivism, the mural becomes part of the city’s identity – and the building a visible bearer of an attitude.

Interference Typographic Façade, Shopping Center Spreitenbach / TK Architects, Zurich

Between 2011 and 2014, a distinctive Interference Typographic Façade was created for the Shopping Center Spreitenbach, merging architecture, typography, and art. Developed in close collaboration with Mayo Bucher and TK Architects, the façade was conceived as a visual field of tension: lettering, rhythm, and superimposition generate movement, disruption, and identity. The typographic façade functions not only as an orientation element, but as an artistic statement in public space that actively transforms the perception of the building.
