São Paulo Architecture
Architecture and urban design in São Paulo, covering adaptive reuse, heritage conservation, and contemporary building practice in Brazil's largest city.
São Paulo has a dense and layered built environment, shaped by modernist architecture, rapid mid-century growth, and a continuing stock of older houses and industrial buildings. Architects working in the city often face the question of how to add new structures to existing fabric without erasing its history.Member work under this topic examines urban regeneration in the LAPI district, the adaptive reuse of a 1940s house with a steel addition, the transformation of a museum that integrates heritage and public space, and passive design approaches in residential projects.
