Lina Bo Bardi Riddle

4haus

Hi,

Ive been given the following riddle to solve. I have to find a building and photograph it (long story)

"Go west young man

and not just in the northern hemisphere. This lot are commemorated by 32
giraffes in a mud wall compound.

Alis sitting on a giraffe please.

(not as hard as it sounds)"

I know Lina Bo Bardi designed a chair called the giraffe, which seems fit with the rest. But im not sure what the 32 and mud wall compound is referring to (is it to one of her churches? i cant find any info, on the road in S.america so no access to a library just the net). If anyone has any leads and where i can find info id appreciate it.

Its not cheating just getting advice right?

Cheers

4haus: I ask my wife and it only makes sense it is the Modern Museum of Art in San Paulo. That is if you consider Concrete=Mud.

It would be a perfect place to display 34 of her chairs.
