Galeria Leme
Galeria Leme, a contemporary art gallery in the city of São Paulo, is a small yet poetic building by the Pritzker-winning Brazilian architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha.
Built in 2004, it has a bare concrete structure and the generous height of the main gallery room is open to slanted natural light by vertical openings and 45º-tilted walls.
In fact, it’s these simple elements – concrete and light – that inspire pause and quiet appraisal. It appeals to me in a very similar fashion as Tadao Ando’s architecture does.

The porch is especialy cool….
Love this building. Have you considered posting Dia:Beacon? And speaking of Tadao Ando, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth in Texas is worth a visit.
