Description: The exhibition was under the curatorial work of Salvador Gnoato (executive secretary of Docomomo_Brasil from 2012 to 2013), and contains unknown works, until now, of the architect who was the pioneer of modernism in Brazil: Frederico Kirchgassner (Germany 1899 - Brazil 1988). It also includes works by Hilda Kirchgassner, his wife, who was also a visual artist. Since childhood, Kirchgässner maintained an intense connection with his native land, that allowed him to absorb the spirit of the avant-garde from the first decades of the 20th century. These experiences and the differentiated works of Italian influence produced in Curitiba in the 20th century. Kirchgassner worked as a surveyor for the Curitiba City Hall. In 1929, he designed the Curitiba Plant, with ink on fabric, and a series of drawings of the city's landscape. In addition to architecture, he dedicated himself to painting, and his artistic side is also exposed in the exhibition. "The exhibition also included an interesting set of drawings and canvas of his own, as well as watercolors from his wife Hilda (1902-1999)".
