HU

A symmetrically divided structure, with a major public hospital on one side and a perplexing ruin on the other. On the horizon, Rio de Janeiro, and the themes of public health, education, and Brazil's aging modernist project. Shot entirely within the monumental yet only partially occupied modernist edifice of the University Hospital of UFRJ. A material metaphor of the Brazilian public sphere and its political maze. An architectural synthesis that expresses the modernist utopia and dystopia.
