designboom speaks to brazilian architect and studio MK27 founder, marcio kogan, on the occasion of his firm's first monographic volume, titled 'the architecture of studio MK27: lights, camera, action'. 'we have always been affected by the radical force of brazilian modernism that started at the end of the 30s,' kogan, who founded his são paulo-based studio in the late 70’s, tells us. 'from its elegant sobriety to the intense integration between interiors and exteriors, these principles have marked my career in architecture and possibly all the generations that have followed.' read our conversation in full here, and discover more recent interviews here.
