Really???
Do you think that just 1 or 2 people can do huge projects like those all alone?
Mario , Bruno , Fragelli together with Jose Viĺas boas and Sussekind were partners on a very inovative design company called Projectum. Back on the 80s Projectum was absorbed by the huge Promon engenharia where I was already working as a junior engineer.
Some of them continued working for Promon and some like Bruno and Mario didn't.
They were all around 30 years older than me.
So , they had no abilities with computers by then and also nowadays . Since then I was also their computer guy. And on the 80s we are talking about the pre-historical age of structural engineering programs using perforated cards as input . Later ,input lines could be recorded on tape to be carried to a larger mainframe computer outside the firm. Computers at that time could take a whole space of a small building.
Over all these years I have done projects with all of them , but very mostly with Carlos Frageĺli .
Mario a brilliant engineer who has passed away some years ago ,around 2001 he got the Ponte JK project to his firm Projconsult .But he had no expertise to do the computer model and also not enough people to design it. So he asked Fragelli and I , that were on another firm , to help him. That's when we 1st purchased Robot Millenium to perform the dynamic analysis.
Bruno and Fragelli are still alive and I can give you their contacts if you desire to check this any futher.
By the way , Bruno is a wonderful engineer and has done some nice designs like the Museu de arte moderna de Niteroi. I have done for him some interesting projects like the new FGV building( Oscar Niemeyer) dynamic analysis .
But he didn't work on Ponte Jk or Cidade da musica executive projects.
And also Christian de Portzamparc is a world famous french ARCHITECT who did the plans for cidade da musica . But Not the design. He couldn't even try because there was no Revit by then...
