José Zanine Caldas (April 25, 1919 – December 20, 2001) was a Brazilian self-taught architect, landscaper, sculptor and furniture designer. His works, which drew the admiration of fellow architects Oscar Niemeyer and Lucio Costa[1], are a unique synthesis of traditional handicraft and modern techniques.[2][3][4][5]
