Botti Rubin Architects, one of the leading firms in San Paulo, Brazil, is firmly rooted in the tradition of modernism. The firm's work, which spans approximately 40 years, reveals the designers' focus on the expression of building materials, the expression of structure, and the expression of architecture's social purpose.
