OSLER HOUSE


Architect: Marcio Kogan
Location: Brasilia, Brazil

In front of the entrance of the Osler House, located in Brasilia, there is a panel of tiles by the artist Athos Bulcão, designed especially for this wall. Dozens of buildings in Brasilia have panels by Athos, among them are: Planalto Palace, Itamaraty and the National Theater, all by Niemeyer. The artist’s modular tiles are an outstanding feature incorporated into the modern architecture of the modern city: from the beautiful residential buildings of the 60’s on the city’s south wing to the original projects for the institutions of the Brazilian political capital.
