During our Brazilian Edition, we got carried by Cristiane’s charm, by the narration of her life’s experiences and about the relevant personalities that she met in her life. Already as a kid she had a passion for art and liked to draw, but when it came to take a decision regarding where to study, she followed her parent’s suggestion and decided to take an architectonical path.
She was born in Santo André, a small town near São Paulo and moved to São Paulo, when she graduated from college. And was there a better choice than studying architecture in one of the most iconic building of the Brazilian modernism? Cristiane studied in the 80’s and early 90’s at FAU USP, building designed by Vilanova Artigas and it seems like Artigas was indirectly a sort of guide for her towards architecture since, already as a kid, she studied at “Vila Alpina” Kindergarten, another building by Artigas built in 1970.
We can say that Artigas was a first indirect influence for Cristiane, but the first master she studied and worked with was Paulo Mendes da Rocha. They worked together at Escola da Cidade and what she learned from him was what shaped and influenced her for the following years.
Today Cristiane has her office with her life partner Fernando Viegas, but teaching has always been an important part of her profession as well. Not only she is a professor but she is interested and curious about learning from other personalities and from her students.
