Our take

In the skilful hands of Renata Pinheiro and Sergio Oliveira, a small and overlooked square in Recife opens a window onto modern urban life in Brazil—and beyond. A treat for the senses, Walt Disney Square reminds us of the everyday beauty that life in the city makes us often quick to dismiss.
