Marc Rubin was the most complete architect I knew.

What does a complete architect mean?

 I explain. 

The elaboration of an architectural project involves phases and stages that develop the measure of its execution, whose level of difficulty depends on the ability of the author of the initial conception to anticipate these difficulties, and then create the necessary conditions for the solutions.

 The architectural proposals formulated by Marc were complete in this sense, joining the architectural proposal formulated, the proposition also of the solutions of the other areas involved, structure, infrastructure, technologies and solutions to be used. A classic example was the structures. 

Marc’s vision, which has always given greater importance to this sector, provided integrated solutions to architecture, while valuing and emphasizing these. 

As a result, many of our projects involved structural solutions where the sculptural treatment given the structure, was part of the architectural project, also involving special technologies such as the use of apparent concrete etc. 

The infrastructure networks, in particular air conditioning, have always existed in studies prepared by Marc, already potentially located and resolved. 

This is all worth saying that Marc always had in his head, a vision of the future development of any type of architectural conception he proposed; which undoubtedly says a lot of the extraordinary ability he had in the field of architecture. 

Those who worked with him knew this, and despite the passing of the years, it was always surprising this ability of vision,  even for his friend and partner in the task of elaboration of projects of Botti Rubin Arquitetos Associados!

Errata da revista AU (ago/12) sobre a ficha técnica do Pátio Malzoni.

Decidindo de maneira unanime recurso extraordinário da CPOS - Companhia Paulista de Obras e Serviços, o STJ acaba de decidir que o autor do projeto básico pode participar da licitação para elaboração do decorrente projeto executivo.

A lei de licitações (8.666) veda a participação do autor do projeto básico na licitação de obras e serviços, sem qualquer referencia as licitações de projeto executivo, que ainda pela legislação e boas praticas deve sempre preceder a licitação de obra.

Antes de uma boa obra deve sempre existir um bom projeto.
