Marcio Kogan (Principal Architect)
Practice Ideology
Studio MK27, located in the chaotic city of São Paulo, was founded in the late 70’s by architect Marcio Kogan, and today has 56 members and various collaborators worldwide. The team of architects, great admirers of the Brazilian modernism generation, seek to fulfill the task of rethinking and giving continuity to this iconic architectural movement. The projects of Studio MK27 place value on formal simplicity and are elaborated with extreme care and attention to details.
Since 2001, when Kogan introduced a co-creation and cooperative work system, Studio MK27 has won more than 250 national and international awards, including IAB (Institute of Brazilian Architects), São Paulo Architectural Biennial, WAF, Architectural Review, Dedalo Minosse, Record House, Leaf, D&AD, Spark, Barbara Cappochin, Iconic, AZ, Buenos Aires Ibero-american Architectural Biennial, Wallpaper Design Award, and Prix Versailles. MK27 also represented Brazil at the Venice Biennale of 2012.
