People, Papers, Presentations

Fares el-Dahdah, associate professor of architecture at Rice, has organized an international symposium on the architecture of Lucio Costa to be held during the 34th meeting of UNESCO‘s World Heritage Committee later this month.

The event begins July 25 in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, for which Costa was master planner. El-Dahdah curated a major exhibit on Costa’s work that opened earlier this year in Brasilia’s Museu Nacional no Conjunto Cultural da Repíblica and runs through Aug. 8 as part of the city’s 50th anniversary celebration.

El-Dahdah will also give a presentation on Costa this week during the 10th International Congress of the Brazilian Studies Association, also in Brasilia.
