Founded in 2016 by three architecture and urbanism students—Matheus Pereira, Ellen Corrêa, and Yasmim Amorim—driven by a desire to analyze urban space and engage in a deeper debate regarding São Paulo's architecture and its layers, the project was born from a commitment to foster a new perception of space among architecture and urbanism students and those interested in the field. This is achieved through the observation of the city and the places we inhabit daily, which we often overlook despite their significance.
