I developed the illustration project for the book A casa da Doutora Farnsworth published by Circo de Ideias in September 2018. This book is the second book in the collection "Houses With a Name" which aims to revisit essential houses in the XX-century architecture panorama, offering readers a contemporary perspective with a new visual and textual dialogue. 
The books of the collection “Houses with a name” are, more than books about architecture, books that connect houses as the home also of human emotions and relationships, in an extension of physical and metaphysical existence. In each one of these stories, there is the report of a constructive process of each house, but also of the humanity that (un)inhabits them.

This book helped me expand my vocabulary and would become a key project in my journey as an illustrator.
