Grammars of Nature – architectures of the infinitesimal

Carolina Coronato, Vitor Barão

Oca Pavilion | 1st floor | Live Lab

The workshop proposes practicing precariousness as a poetic power in architecture. Inspired by artists such as Cecilia Vicuña, Antonio Bispo, Manoel de Barros, and Bachelard, participants will create small, ephemeral constructions, practicing ways of living that weave possible paths of engagement with the world.

Victor Baron

A biologist with a Master's degree in Science from the Department of Botany at the University of São Paulo, he is also a photographer and self-taught chef. He works as a multidisciplinary artist who works across the languages of art, science, nature, cuisine, and technology. He is a researcher, consultant, and professor of biomimicry, a documentarian of creative processes, and co-founder of Gramáticas da Natureza, which focuses on education, science, and poetry.

Carolina Coronato

An artist and educator, she develops her research and artistic practice through the construction of cartographies—aesthetic-poetic representations of subjective territories—places where perceptions and experiences born from encounters with and in nature materialize. She is a co-founder of Gramáticas da Natureza (Graphics of Nature), an approach that proposes poetic modes of relating to the natural world.

Grammars of Nature

Gramáticas da Natureza is a platform that explores ways of knowing and experiencing nature. The project proposes residencies, installations, expeditions, workshops, and performative banquets, adopting the languages of art and science as bridges to experience. In its actions, the collective activates forms of care and the construction of subjectivity based on the relationship between landscape, aesthetics, and sharing.

NOTE OF CONDOLENCE

With deep sorrow, the Brazilian Institute of Architects – São Paulo Department (IABsp) mourns the passing of architect and landscape architect Kongjian Yu, a global leader in ecological urbanism, and the members of his team who accompanied him, tragically killed during the filming of a documentary. The institute is honored to have had him as a participant in the 14th São Paulo International Architecture Biennial, where his transformative vision strengthened the dialogue between global challenges and local realities. IABsp emphasizes that Yu's contribution, which transcends borders, will remain an inspiration for generations and expresses its condolences to China, to the families of all the deceased, to his friends, and to all those impacted by his genius and dedication.
