Let's imagine that whoever builds a house in São Paulo seeks to blur the boundaries between open and closed spaces, inside and outside, covered and uncovered, taking advantage of our climate. The project interprets this desire in a ten-metre wide plot, typical of the pleasant Jardim Paulistano neighbourhood, a privileged part of the city with comme...
The neighbourhood of Itaim, close to Avenida Faria Lima, is undergoing a profound transformation. The former occupation of small two-storey houses has been replaced by towers. The project seeks to insert itself into this context as a kind of mediation between different times. The site has a special location, opening onto three streets and incorpora...
It was all the more surprising and positively disturbing for the European and international architectural discourse when, at around the same time in the 1990s, a young generation of Brazilian architects gained international respect and attention. They presented projects with substantial impulses for contemporary urban planning that did not exist in...

Understanding and revealing our place in the world, both geographically and culturally, is one of the reasons for the work we do every day. Brazil is a country on a continental scale where practically everyone speaks the same language, but which nevertheless still preserves more than two hundred native languages that are a living cultural heritage....
The renovation and restoration project seeks to adapt the complex (Ed. Rui Barbosa and Joaquim Nabuco) to its new use - a contemporary art centre that brings together exhibition spaces, rooms for theoretical and practical courses and a University Theatre - and has the central objective of affirming the public character that has historically marked ...
