Realised through an industrialised construction process, the school complex is divided into a single-storey building housing the multi-sports centre and another hosting classrooms, offices and services on three levels. A large forecourt serves as an interface zone between the external public space and the internal semi-public space. On the main façade, a perforated 'screen' composed of irregularly textured concrete blocks forms a large mosaic that lets the view of the outside filter in during the day and transforms the illuminated building into a diaphanous sculpture at night.

The 1960s workshop-house of painter and activist David Alfaro Siqueiros has been given a new lease of life as one of Mexico's most important centres of experimentation in the field of mural art. Two majestic Siqueiros murals were removed from their original location and relocated outside on sloping planes that serve as backdrops to the plaza and common areas. The renovation work included a gallery/museum, a library and artists' accommodation; the existing spaces were preserved and painted a neutral white to house the exhibitions. A triangular shaped perforated concrete block envelope forms a protective and sculptural screen embracing the entire existing complex.

A house with a somewhat "Hollywood" allure that combines contemporaneity with a traditional expressive language: this is the single-family dwelling realised by Marcio Kogan in a green residential district of São Paulo. The building's sober, linear volumes are enriched by soft, sinuous geometries in the top of the façades where three-dimensional perforated elements in precast concrete, designed by the Austro-American artist Erwin Hauer, recall the modules of modernist cobogó and give the elevations a plastic, sculptural character.

In B+B House, the theme of vertical distribution as an architectural promenade is decisive in the design: the main access to the communal spaces is via a 25 m long ramp that extends the transition between exterior and interior in an almost "ceremonial" path, within an "interstitial" environment screened by a perforated backdrop of aggregated concrete modules with different geometries.

This shop of a famous cosmetic brand, located in the lively artistic neighbourhood of Vila Madalena, is a declared homage to the traditional Brazilian cobogó brick. The interior, in uninterrupted continuity with the outdoor space, proposes the serial repetition of radiating terracotta elements that evoke the masonry and decorative textures typical of the local craft tradition.
