"... the village looks like a party, in the color, in the grace, in the invention is born from

the hands of this modest and simple man who, however, is, at the same time, wise, and brings deep

knowledge in the heart, and, in the fingers, the gift of creation. They were born to create

beauty, to give of themselves to others, to make richer the heritage of the portuguese people

with their images, their figures of clay, their utility vessels, their long horns oxen, their

fishes as light as verses, their porks and roosters made of earth and lyricism. Looks like a

feast, the village ... "

Jorge Amado, brazilian writer

“If you want to be universal, speaks of your village.”

“As food, shelter and clothing are considered the most essential needs of human beings, the art

of doing it characterizes the various civilizations of the world. This is the art design. The

larger works are often the most humble. The efficient and simple beauty of working clothes and

tools of human beings in all parts of the world is a source of constant admiration...”

Paul Jacques Grillo

DESCRIPTION: Work of art developed with a team of craftsmen, through a program developed by

SEBRAE-PI (Brazilian Service of Support to Micro and Small Enterprises). The collection consists

of pieces of wood that associate religion with elements typically regional, such as cactus,

vegetation characteristic of our climate zone. This work was awarded in Casa Piauí Design 2008, an

event sponsored annually in the state, and subsequently exposed to the national level, in the same

year, at the event Piauí Sampa, held in São Paulo.

Space and Light and Order. These are the things that human beings need as much as bread or a place

to sleep.

AUTHORS João Alberto Monteiro | Flávia Maia

DESCRIPTION: Complex which includes Hotel, Restaurant and Convention Center, for Floriano, fast

growing city in south of the state of Piaui. Developed in partnership with the major architect of

the firm 490 Architecture, João Alberto Monteiro, it was to reform of pre-existing buildings,

adapting its use to hotel and the construction of entirely new buildings. The rigorous study of

the flow was vital to the achievement of buildings that, while independent, will be joined in an

efficient manner. The functionality is the basis on which the whole idea of this project was

erected.

A wheel?

Thirty spokes unite in the middle!

But the void in the middle is the essence of the wheel.

A pitcher?

Clay is shaped in the form of vases!

But the hollow void is the essence of the jar.

A house?

Walls with doors and windows!

But the empty space is the essence of home.

Therefore, the existing use;

Recognizes the usefulness of non-existent.

Lao-Tsé,

chinese philosopher and alchemist

TEAM:João Alberto Monteiro | Flávia Maia

DESCRIPTION: Single residence in the city of Macaé, in Rio de Janeiro, developed in partnership

with the major architect of the firm 490 Architecture. The couple and their two daughters wanted

to prioritize the internal spaces, making a home "turned into". Their ideas were met and

enthusiastically approved throught the creation of a mezzanine in the area close to the family

enjoyment and a leisure area with the privacy protected in the bottom of the ground, among other

architectural solutions. Openings for natural ventilation and lighting and the arrangement of

spaces have been established making the best use of the sun and pleasant wind in the region.

Aesthetically, it was obtained a building clean, without excessive decorative elements, as

vernacular as contemporary.

Your home is not an anchor but a mast.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Because knowledge is limited while imagination embraces the entire world,

stimulating progress, giving life to the development.
