Departures of note

Luis Pedro Scalise was a Brazilian architect with a career spanning more than 35 years. He became one of the most recognized architects in Mato Grosso do Sul, signing projects across Brazil and internationally in countries including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, and Jordan. His work was known for its irreverence, sophistication, and elegance.

Beyond architecture, Scalise worked in design and scenography. One of his notable projects was the Casa do Papai Noel installed in Campo Grande in 2018, which featured aromatic chocolate-scented walls. He also designed nightclubs, bars, restaurants, and residential developments in Campo Grande, Cuiabá, Goiânia, and cities in São Paulo state.

In his later years, Scalise dedicated himself to painting, creating canvases noted for their rich colors and representations of landscapes, animals, and natural elements. The Architecture and Urbanism Council of Mato Grosso do Sul recognized his legacy in architecture, design, and scenography.
