...Brazilian community plainly needs some help. The Brazilian embassy normally pays for between 10 and 15 repatriations each year, but in the last few months it has already paid for about 40. Since last September, Carlos Zaha has seen many in his Hamamatsu community lose their jobs. In December, he helped start Brasil Fureai, or "Contact Brazil," an association to help unemployed Brazilian residents find jobs. He's thankful to the Japanese government for the offer of assisted repatriation, but says the decision will be a rough one for workers. "I don't think [the government] thought this through well...

So was Zaha Hadid. But it was a moment that didn't sit well with the partners who would come together as SHoP in 1996. "Theorizing about buildings had become more important than building them," says Coren Sharples. "If you actually built, you were selling out. It was very disheartening." Adds Pasquarelli: "There were the guardians of culture, and there were the architects who just served clients. There...
