Around 19,000 architects and urban planners from Rio de Janeiro state now have access to a shared office space in downtown Rio de Janeiro. Featuring 20 workstations and two meeting rooms, the space allows professionals to work and host client meetings.
The Council's goal is to bring greater vitality to the use of its headquarters—located at Av. República do Chile, 230, 23rd floor—while strengthening ties with professionals and providing access to an infrastructure that architects and urban planners help maintain. By the end of this year, CAU/RJ expects to increase the number of available workstations and meeting rooms.
The shared office space operates as a coworking model, where resources such as furniture and internet are shared. According to CAU/RJ President Jeferson Salazar, the initiative aims to support professional development, particularly for those based in other parts of the state who need a venue to host clients in the capital.
To use the space, professionals must be registered with the Council and present identification. Meeting rooms must be booked 48 hours in advance by emailing coworking@caurj.gov.br.
