On August 26 and 27, the second workshop of the project will take place, themed: “Comprehensive City – A New Vision of the Metropolis.” The proposal is to reflect on the issues surrounding large metropolises in the 21st century, focusing primarily on the perspective of people, the connections created between them and the city, and, above all, how architects, as professionals, can act as mediators in the challenges of the contemporary city.
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.
