The exhibition presents a sample of contemporary residential production through a selection of 12 houses built in the São Paulo metropolitan area, featuring works by the offices SPBR, MMBB, SIAA, Grupo SP, Longato Pirondi, Apiacás, Brasil Arquitetura, Andrade Morettin, UNA, Obra, Terra e Tuma, and Drucker Arquitetura.
On September 4, the Escola da Cidade – Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism will launch the exhibition "Casas Paulistas: 2000 – 2017." Curated by Romullo Baratto and conceived by Ruben Otero, the exhibition brings together 12 projects for houses in São Paulo built since the turn of the century. It is part of a series of Brazilian exhibitions in the 2019 European Capital of Culture.
In São Paulo, perhaps more than anywhere else in Brazil, one can identify a unique architectural practice guided by ideas that originated decades ago, the debate around which often brings up well-known names. With João Vilanova Artigas as its most prominent figure, the architecture of São Paulo—and especially the city of São Paulo—from the second half of the last century established deep roots that nourish and inform contemporary production.
