The Technological Institute of Aeronautics (ITA) in São José de Campos is engaged in an expansion project to take on twice the number of students. A collective of São Paulo-based firms involving METRO, MMBB and Piratininga Arquitetos are leading the corresponding architectural project and will work in the context of an architecturally significant existing campus, possessing buildings and urban design by Oscar Niemeyer. From a suite of new buildings that includes also a new library and a residential area intended for the faculty of the institution, METRO is responsible for the 1200 seat auditorium and the Fundamental Sciences Department, that became the first to be built and was finished in October 2018.

The 20.000 m² property in the state of São Paulo was the first of a recently subdivided farm to be built on. With around 70% occupied by protected virgin forest land, the plot is at the highest point of the development, with a panoramic view of the horizon in front and protected by the Mantiqueira forest in the rear. The client has suggested two independent yet interconnected blocks. The first, which will be used more often, is for the actual owners, while the second is for guests.

New Casa Triângulo / Metro Arquitetos Associados

Cristobal Rojas — Mon, 31 Oct 2016 10:00:00 +0000

METRO began the project for a new Casa Triângulo by collaborating with their clients on an extensive search for a site suitable for one of Brazil’s most important contemporary art galleries, which has already been in operation for 28 years. This partnership ensured that that the property on Rua Estados Unidos (one of Sao Paulo’s most distinctive streets) was not simply chosen based on its physical location, but was also selected for the characteristics of an existing structure that would allow for a rapid conversion into a substantial exhibition space. The resultant gap between design and construction was just 11 months.
