Our second skin

Identity, Print

Our Second Skin is a pavilion created by RADDAR as part of an investigation into the role of glass in contemporary architecture. Conceived and curated by Sol Camacho for the Chicago Architecture Biennial, the project occupies the Yates Gallery at the Chicago Cultural Center with a structure made from more than 2,200 pieces of waste generated by industrial glass manufacturing. Collected in Chicago and São Paulo, these fragments form a translucent skin that filters light, reorganizes space, and makes visible what the production process usually renders invisible. We developed the project’s visual identity and poster, seeking to graphically represent the idea of glass as our second skin—a surface clothed in ideologies and utopias, mediating the relationship between the inside and the environment around us.

Simplexidade helps organizations operate in complex contexts without confusing complexity with complication. We applied this approach to the visual identity through graphics that explore the organic–digital duality and build on the idea of the power of relationships when integrated.

An engineer, urban planner, feminist, and key figure in the making of MAM Rio, Carmen Portinho made the act of designing an instrument of social transformation. The exhibition tells her story and brings together works that reveal the breadth of her thinking.

At Mirá, ancestral Japanese techniques, natural fermentation, and Brazilian ingredients turn bread into a territory of research and memory. It is an independent bakery built between tradition, discovery, time, and care.

Bauh is an original furniture studio that creates pieces from reclaimed wood. Produced in limited editions, its furniture is defined by close attention to materials and detail. We developed its visual identity, creating a sober, contemporary graphic system that supports the brand’s communication without competing with the material’s singular character.
