Title: Do pensamento ao projeto
Description: Architect Jozé Candido brings together in his book, projects, concepts and their relationship with urban space. The publication shows 45 works - some recent ones, such as Family Clinics, BRT corridors and stations and the New Terminal Alvorada, Recreio Terminal, and the Olympic Park Terminal, all three in Barra da Tijuca. In a walk through the city, under the vision of who thinks and does the city, the book also includes a collection of testimonies with characters from architecture, urbanism, public administration and partners of more than 40 years of work. Jozé Candido worked for 39 years in the city hall. He began as a designer of the Guanabara Roads Department while still a student at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of Santa Ursula. His love for Rio was born almost as an obligation. In public life, he has always been connected to the areas of works and planning, in outstanding projects such as the Rio de Janeiro Basic Urban Plan, the Favela Bairro project and the Complexo do Alemão Urban Plan, the first carried out in a non-formal area of city. He also participated in several road projects, such as bridges, footbridges and viaducts. "The realization of the project of editing and producing this book was inspired on the basis of the large collection of projects carried out by the architect, his influence on the urban restructuring the city is going through and the representative iconography of a new way of thinking the city, a functional vision of the present with a perspective for the future [] Few cariocas know his work, but most of them use it or pass by one of Joze Candido Sampaio de Lacerda Júnior's architecture almost daily. There are dozens of them, scattered throughout the urban space of the Marvelous City, the main base of his drawing table." (HKB Translation)-Front flap.
