PROJECT 190

"ESPAçO CULTURAL PORTO SEGURO"

São Paulo Arquitetura

The goal was to resolve the architectural brief using pure volumes, limited only by plastically designed facades that indicate internal functions, secondary volumes and vertical circulation. The integration between spaces allows visitors to make a contemplative contact with the external environment. Asymmetrical shapes and contours stimulate the discovery of space. The natural light becomes the main artist in the architecture, openings in unusual and different locations, make lights and shadows to fill the spaces with a kind of natural art.

The Cultural Center used a reinforced concrete based system, in addition of being a widespread, and known to local labor technique, it had a great influence on modern Brazilian architecture. The use of concrete was essential to get the plasticity that the architecture needed. The malleability capacity of the material facilitated the construction of the shapes requested by the project. Therefore, the structural elements are components that gives the building, as well as other materials used, plasticity and functionality.
