In my lecture on collecting Latin American mid-century design this evening, I loved focusing on the so-called Glass House, which Italian-born Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi (1914-92) designed in 1951 in São Paulo as her own home. Bo Bardi, who together with her husband co-founded the influential art magazine Habitat, played a central role in disseminating of the taste for the modern in Brazil.
