The course is structured around visits to contemporary architectural works in São Paulo, always in the company of the architect who developed the project.
A public inaugural class will be held to present the course and explain the logistics of the visits.
The selection of sites to be visited is based on the following criteria: location, scale, author, and use.
Each visit includes discussions on topics such as the practical realities of architectural practice, education, new technologies, work processes, and the project's relationship with the city.
