Page "São Paulo Museum of Art" Paragraph 29

Between 1996 and 2001, the actual administration of the museum undertook a vast and controversy reform.

Notwithstanding the indispensable restoration of the general structure, the architect and former director of the institution Julio Neves determined the substitution of the original floor conceived by Lina Bo, the installation of a second elevator, the construction of a third underground floor, and the substitution of the water mirrors for gardens.

Many architects allege that the reform caused a profound discharacterization of Lina's original project.
