| Sumario: | [EN] 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 The former occupation of small two-storey houses has been replaced by towers.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 incorporating two corners. While the direct neighbouring building is a new 20+ storey residential tower, the proposed building is similar in scale but set back from the corners. On the ground floor the occupation strategy leaves almost 50% of the private plot as public area. A square is configured connecting three of its fronts, establishing continuity with the neighbourhood's pavements. The square, half covered and half uncovered, includes a café, gardens, benches and a water line. It establishes a new standard of urbanisation, desirable in a city whose public spaces are neglected. In this way, collective activities are enhanced, distributed vertically and establishing direct communication with the city. |
