ARCHITECTURE: Pedregulho in Central do Brasil
This curved residential unit in Rio was designed by Affonso Eduardo Reidy (1909-1964) from 1947 onward and completed in the early 1950ies. In Central do Brasil (1998), dir. Walter Salles, it is, as is usual with modern architecture, the residence of some evil characters who trade in small children. The main character sells a boy there whose mother was run over by a bus. Taken by remorse she returns there to kidnap hin - so to speak (without returning the money which she has invested in a TV set).
Edited to the Andante grazioso of the Quintet in E-Flat Major, Op. 88 No 2 by Anton Reicha.
