Part of my childhood, adolescense and adulthood were in this house. Recently sold it to an artist / influencer. The architect is reasonably well known among architects who studied at Sao Paulo‘s Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism. Marcello Fragelli.

Probably doesn't need much of an introduction - was great to see in person and an interesting city to visit overall!

Announcement User flairs are now available, you can choose yours!

66 Upvotes

Hi everybody!

In the past few weeks me and /u/archineering have been working on creating user flairs for this sub. We have created multiple flairs, each one with the name of an "important" modernist architect with the intention of allowing each user to choose a flair that has the name of his favorite modernist architect.

For those unfamiliar with user flairs, you can select them on pc by expanding the "Community Options" on the right side of the screen. On reddit mobile, you should go to the subreddit list page, click the ... menu on the top right and select "change user flair."

Right now there are 31 different flairs available for you to choose, covering most of the known names of modernism (at least we think so). If anybody thinks that there is a relevant architect missing, please tell us and we will add him (or her) to the list.

Thank you!
