Joaquim Manoel Guedes Sobrinho, b. São Paulo 1932 is a Brazilian architect known for rejecting formalism in favour of an architecture that endeavours to respond to the needs of everyday life. Critic of Oscar Niemeyer and mainstream Brazilian architecture, Guedes, although usually associated with the Paulista School, is thus considered an 'enfant terrible' among many of his coleagues. He has practice in São Paulo since 1955 and has worked in over 400 projects. He is best known for his single family houses and urban projects, among them the new town of Caraíba in the State of Bahia, Brazil.
