Arthur Casas: Architecture

Arthur Casas has been one of Brazil’s most prolific and innovative architects since the late 1980s. His projects, the work of studios in Sao Paulo and New York, can be seen in many of the world’s capitals, including Paris, Tokyo, London and Lisbon. Studio Arthur Casas has completed over 500 projects in different areas, including residential and commercial architecture, public competitions, and interior and product design, both in Brazil and abroad. The firm has gained recognition over the years and has received numerous national and international honors, such as an award from the 2015 World Architecture Festival for the Brazilian Pavilion at the Milan Expo. Born and raised in Sao Paulo, Casas is strongly influenced by the cosmopolitan spirit of the city, something that inspires him to stay connected with the design community worldwide. This ethos marks all of CASAS’ work, which is defined by a highly eclectic and ever-changing creativity. Casas firmly believes that architecture and interior design are inextricably linked: he visualises and embraces the spaces he designs on the condition of including the furniture created or chosen for them. Being a craftsman, he aims to create simple designs freed from all unnecessary details, imbued with artisanal qualities. The book features works by internationally acclaimed photographers Filippo Bamberghi, Fernando Guerra, winner of the 2015 Architectural Photographer of the Year, and Mauro Restie.
