Last October 24th marked the centenary of the birth of Brazilian architect Francisco de Assis Couto Reis<\/a> (1926\u20132011), who lived and built most of his work in the city of Salvador<\/a>, Bahia<\/a>. Assis Reis, as he was better known, had a career shaped not only by the buildings he designed but also by his urban renewal proposals, his design for the Brazilian Pavilion at the World Expo<\/a> in Osaka<\/a>, Japan (unbuilt), and the Scale Model of the City of Salvador, landmarked in 2020<\/a>. His vast and diverse body of work belongs to a specific moment of modern expression in Brazil<\/a>, when architects of this “second generation” were particularly concerned with adapting to local climatic, geographical, and cultural conditions.<\/p>\n

Born in Aracaju, Sergipe, on October 24, 1926, and raised in Parna\u00edba, Piau\u00ed, Assis Reis moved to Salvador<\/a> in 1942. In 1957, he graduated with a degree in architecture from the Faculty of Architecture of the Federal University of Bahia<\/a> (UFBA<\/a>), an institution where he began teaching in 1968, contributing to the development of contemporary architectural thought in Bahia.<\/p>\n
