Noël Marinho

This Brazilian architect participated in the modernism movement by joining Oscar Niemeyer and Lucio Costa, designers of the new capital Brasilia. Like his masters Gropius or Le Corbusier, he approached architecture as a whole, based on a sober structure and a rich and colorful ornamentation, going as far as creating furniture adapted to projects. A compulsive draftsman, his drawings, on all types of media, ranging from Indian ink to collages of colored paper, materialized in ceramics, wall panels or, as for Toulemonde Bochart, in carpets, in geometric compositions, with muted or luminous colors.
