"Gallery: The Living Legacy of Architecture and Design"

The Gallery emerges as one of those ideas the world needed but didn’t know how to ask for. Instead of merely preserving what has already been done, it does something more audacious: it expands the meaning of legacy by connecting innovation and technology with the minds shaping our cities and, of course, with future generations.

The Gallery is a living archive!

At the heart of everything is the idea of preservation, but not like a static museum. The Gallery is a living archive, where masters like Álvaro Siza, Frank Gehry, and Oscar Niemeyer have their stories preserved—not as tributes, but as active inspiration for new generations of architects and designers. The productions that emerge from this digital space are not mere homages; they are ongoing dialogues between what is being created and what is yet to be, shaping new ways of thinking, creating, and innovating, with a direct impact on the future of architecture and design.


It’s about diving into the essence of humanity. The Gallery seeks to understand the life stories that shaped these visionary minds—we’re talking about unique individuals, whose experiences and journeys are reflected in every line drawn and every material chosen. This intimate portrait, more than any building, is what truly connects us to the legacy they’ve built.


The Gallery also explores how architecture and design can address urgent social issues. The architects featured on the platform don’t just create iconic works; they are reimagining more inclusive and livable cities, proposing solutions for affordable housing, designing spaces that promote equity, and seeking to solve complex urban problems with a focus on social well-being. These projects help transform realities in vulnerable communities, demonstrating the power of architecture as a force for social transformation.

In a unique way, the Gallery brings the impact of these works into the present, showing how they are transforming regions, cities, and societies. These series and documentaries are more than just reflections; they are a roadmap for the future of architecture and design. They explore how every line, every material, and every idea came together to create spaces that shape the way we live.


It’s not just about celebrating a professional journey, but about exploring how the works and innovations of these architects continue to transform cities, influence technologies, and drive today's building processes. It’s a dynamic and living approach, where the legacy evolves, continuously shaping new generations, new cities, and new ways to build the future.


Sustainability, innovation, and social responsibility are at the center of global discussions, and the Gallery is committed to these values. The platform explores how today’s architects are reimagining the use of materials, technologies, and sustainable solutions to create a positive impact on the environment and cities, while also addressing issues of inequality and inclusion. More than just preserving the past, the Gallery highlights these innovations, promoting practices that help build a more responsible, balanced, and socially just future.


Em um mundo onde o conhecimento e a cultura são frequentemente tratados como commodities, a Gallery oferece um acervo gratuito.
"In a world where knowledge and culture are often treated as commodities, the Gallery offers a free collection."

And all of this is accessible to everyone. In a world where knowledge and culture are often treated as commodities, the Gallery offers a free collection. There are no secrets, no exclusivity for a closed circle. The purpose is greater: to allow as many people as possible to connect with these brilliant minds and, through that, inspire new ways of seeing and building the world. Historical documents, never-before-seen sketches... we're talking about opening the doors of the architectural Olympus to a global audience.


What the Gallery truly does is open paths, provide context, and ensure that the innovations in materials, processes, and architectural solutions that shape our landscape today continue to be understood, discussed, and, most importantly, reinvented.


This is not an archive to be kept at a distance or locked behind glass. It’s a living, dynamic space where the legacy of these architects continues to evolve and influence. Their works keep inspiring new creators, shaping generations, and transforming cities. Here, the past is not something untouchable; it breathes and constantly reinvents itself, helping to build the future of architecture and design.


The Gallery is a dynamic and accessible platform that connects the legacy of architecture and design with innovation, sustainability, and social impact. It bridges the gap between the desire to preserve history and the drive to shape the future, while promoting new ways of thinking and building the world, with a focus on transforming realities and influencing both present and future generations. Moreover, the Gallery addresses the need to democratize access to knowledge, bringing visionary architects and their works to a wider audience, free of charge and without exclusivity, while exploring the transformative power of architecture in addressing social and environmental issues.
