Joaquim Manoel Guedes Sobrinho (Portuguese pronunciation: [ʒoaˈkĩ manuˈɛw ˈɡɛdʒis soˈbɾiɲu]; June 18, 1932 in São Paulo – July 27, 2008 in São Paulo) was a Brazilian architect and urban planner. Praised as one of the most important architects of his generation,[by whom?] he was known for rejecting formalism in favor of an architecture that responds to the needs of everyday life. Although usually associated with the Paulista School, Guedes was a critic of Oscar Niemeyer and mainstream Brazilian architecture and thus considered an 'enfant terrible' among many of his colleagues.
