In cities, most open space is dedicated to vehicle traffic and parking, while only a small percentage is allocated to people and their daily activities. For this reason, the Parque(ando) proposal involves temporarily occupying parking spaces to expand their potential for collective use, thereby promoting socialization, cultural expression and diversity, play, community, the appropriation of our spaces, and generosity.
In 2016, then-mayor of São Paulo João Doria announced a renovation project for Largo do Arouche, dubbed "Little Paris." The name refers to the square's French-inspired urban design and seeks to erase the memory of what can be considered one of the city's first LGBT+ territories. The project by the Franco-Brazilian firm Triptyque reinforces this narrative by failing to engage in a broad dialogue with the local community.
The exhibition presents a sample of contemporary residential production through a selection of 12 houses built in the São Paulo metropolitan area, featuring works by the offices SPBR, MMBB, SIAA, Grupo SP, Longato Pirondi, Apiacás, Brasil Arquitetura, Andrade Morettin, UNA, Obra, Terra e Tuma, and Drucker Arquitetura.
