The international project If These Walls Were Water. Lina Bo Bardi is dedicated
to the creative method and legacy of Lina Bo Bardi. The essential feature was
the close collaboration with the architect's former students and associates —
André Vainer and Marcelo Ferraz.

Bo Bardi's crucial principle—the understanding of culture as a space for community
and shared experience—is embodied in two interconnected parts of the exhibition.
A large-scale installation, composed of elements from the architect's imaginary
universe, reveals the material manifestation of her ideas, while an intimate gallery
allows visitors to glimpse into the master's creative laboratory and presents
architecture as a process — from the initial drawing to realized form.
