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.

They soon formed a partnership and have since been responsible for hundreds of projects, ranging from single family homes to high-rise buildings; not to mention urban planning. Brazilian architecture has, of course, evolved from the 1950s and Botti Rubin, who in the 1960s were designing the first exposed concrete high buildings, are now responsible fnr designing the tallest South American office building, which is clad in granite and glass and whose unusual silhouette is already a mark on the Sao Pauln skvline.
