CLUBE

CLUBE, co-founded by Gabriel Biselli, established in 2019 in Sao Paulo, is an initiative that seeks not only production but also discussion within the field of architecture. The organization has played an active role in hosting events such as lectures, workshops, and exhibitions, providing a space for dialogue among Brazilian and international architects. Notable participations include Matteo Ghidoni (Salottobuono and San Rocco Magazine) and Abdelkader Damani (FRAC Centre-Val de Loire).

In addition to its on-site activities, CLUBE has had its contributions published on various platforms, including digital and print editions such as Carte Blanche n. 6 (Paris) and Unlearning Public Spaces — Täglich Trendbook. The involvement of CLUBE has also extended to relevant exhibitions, such as Cinema Nervi (curated by Parasite 2.0 at Manifattura Tabacchi in Florence), Disfuncional (curated by Marina Dalgalarrondo and Galeria Jaqueline Martins in São Paulo), and the solo exhibition “Depois da Pedra” by Paulo Pires (curated by Germano Dushá at Mendes Wood DM in São Paulo).

At the helm of CLUBE, Gabriel Biselli, born in Botucatu in 1993, is an architect graduated from Escola da Cidade in 2018, distinguished for his essay “Somente alguns corpos – imagens banais da metrópole de S. Paulo, 1935-1945.” Throughout his journey, he participated in international events such as the XXVIII Taller Internacional de Arquitectura de Cartagena (2014) and conducted research funded by the Projeto Contracondutas, exploring the intersection between architecture and the era of financial capital, with a focus on airport spaces.

As an intern, he contributed to renowned offices such as Vapor 324, Brasil Arquitetura, Jean-Benoît Vétillard Architectures (Paris, France), and Metro Arquitetos. His presence was also notable in architecture competitions, collaborating with offices like MMBB and Pianca+Urano. In addition to his involvement with CLUBE, Biselli served as an assistant professor in disciplines at Escola da Cidade and FAU-USP, currently dedicating himself to his master’s dissertation on architectural culture in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, between 1979 and 1988.
