Drawing on the theme "In Project" from the 11th Architecture Biennial, the firm SIAA Arquitetos Associados reflects on the possibility of alternative relationships between architectural design, built space, and public occupation over time, whether anticipated or not. To this end, the firm uses the Centro Cultural São Paulo building—designed by architects Eurico Prado Lopes and Luiz Telles—as the foundation for its reflection, and not by chance. Following a period of immersion in the diverse uses that this space anticipates and enables, this exhibition presents a graphic record developed by the architects at SIAA. The work seeks not only to highlight what is already present in the daily life of the CCSP but also to make explicit the potential of its spaces and uses—whether programmed or appropriated—positioning the building as a powerhouse of cultural management and an architectural and urban object.
