MODERN ARCHITECTURE IN SÃO PAULO

The sidewalk is the most democratic area of our home—we don't always remember this, but it is indeed part of our home, our building, and we believe it can be a space that goes beyond mere circulation. We view the sidewalk as a place for social interaction, tolerance, and respect for others, where we must engage with people of all genders, races, religions, ages, and social, physical, and mental conditions. In other words, it is a space where the full exercise of citizenship takes place.

The grupoDEArquitetura—or the group's warehouse, as we call it—is launching its "Open School at the Warehouse" project this month.
The project stems from a desire to share and build critical thinking regarding architecture, urbanism, the arts, cinema, geography, and other fields that play a fundamental role in how we inhabit and transform urban life.
Connection is what drives us; the construction of thought is what sustains us.
Focused on the exchange of experiences, critical reflection, and continuous learning, the "Open School at the Warehouse" project will bring lectures, seminars, workshops, and debates to Presidente Prudente. Featuring prominent figures who will contribute to the public's critical development in diverse ways, the project thereby fulfills the social function of the warehouse, architecture, and its related fields.
