Between 1946 and 1952, one of the most emblematic projects of Brazilian modern architecture emerged in Rio: the Conjunto Residencial Prefeito Mendes de Moraes, currently known as Pedregulho. Designed by modernist architect Affonso Reidy, Pedregulho was built to house hundreds of families and to offer, within its own space, various services, such as a school, health clinic, laundry, market, among others.
One of the groups from class PBL111 went to the building to learn a bit more about this masterpiece of Brazilian architecture. They interviewed residents and took some images of the inside of Pedregulho, and you can check it out in the video below.
