A 1:100 study model of Lina Bo Bardi's Museo de Arte de São Paulo depicting the building's iconic suspended gallery block held between two massive red-painted MDF portal frames; the curtain-wall facade is rendered with closely spaced black acrylic vertical mullions set within a clear acrylic glazing band, while the roof surface is cast in plaster with an orange-toned marbled finish suggesting the concrete slab; pilotis beneath the platform are indicated in red MDF and a white scale figure is placed at ground level to convey the building's monumental free span.
