Gregori Warchavchik

Gregori I. Warchavchik ( born April 2, 1896 in Odessa, † July 27, 1972 in São Paulo) was a Brazilian architect. He is regarded in his country as one of the most important representatives of the first generation of the architects of classical modernism.

Warchavchik studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, before he emigrated to Brazil in 1923, where he later assumed the nationality. In the years 1927/28, he designed in São Paulo a house for themselves, the same as the first house of Modernism in Brazil today. He designed, inter alia, the Lasar Segall Museum opened in 1967 in São Paulo.
