The package was a puzzle: Brazilian Post. Museu Oscar Niemeyer. A Flickr friend? But who’s in Br...
And then I remembered. Took a few pictures of the packaging. Tore it wide open.
Already bragged on this a bit back when it happened at detritus, but I figure I’m due a Flickr strut too. (And yeah, of course I’ll double post. I’m only human.)
Best part about receiving the unexpected package was remembering: Right. I used to take a lot of pictures and stuff. I need to get back to doing that.
So may I present: A Casa Farnsworth (1950), projetada por Mies van der Rohe. (Foto de Dayna Bateman)
Page 47 in O Espetaculo Arquitetural, a series on architecture for children produced by the Museu Oscar Niemeyer in Curitiba, Brazil. In Portuguese.
Green values are a little too high on the Farnsworth image, but the book itself -- the way it’s laid out and bound and presented -- is really lovely.
Now if I only read Portuguese.

Yay, You!
I'd have said it in Portuguese, but I wanted you to be able to read it!
How precious but come on, Portuguese isn't that hard!
You reminded me of when I visited Taliesin West years ago. When I walked into the gift store, this lady in a suit grabbed me and rushed me to these beautiful books...then I realized they were in Japanese. I guffawed...
beautiful -- brava!!
felicitações
