• This project utilizes the residual spaces of the proposed master plan for Itaquera to integrate land parcels that have been separated by topography and road infrastructures. Through the implementation of new programs, such as, pedestrian paths, public spaces, new housing typologies , artisan studios, a new subway, and a monorail station, Archipelago Itaquera encourages the continuous linkage between local and the regional programs.
