EVOLUTIONARY ANALYSIS OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT - SAO CAETANO DO SUL | 2019 PROJECT: EVOLUTIONARY ANALYSIS OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT IN SAO CAETANO DO SUL CITY, FROM 1962 TO 2010 LOCATION: MUNICIPALITY OF SAO CAETANO DO SUL, SP, BRAZIL. 23°35’58.32”S to 23°39’2.04”S, 46°35’5.80”W to 46°32’40.78”W CHARACTERISTIC: FINAL THESIS FOR THE BACHELOR OF GEOGRAPHY FACULTY OF PHILOSOPHY, LANGUAGES AND HUMAN SCIENCES REMOTE SENSING OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT YEAR: 2019 AUTHORSHIP: DENIS GIANNELLI This project constitutes a final thesis within the field of study of Remote Sensing, which is hereby conceived as a set of techniques for data obtainment, registration and interpretation regarding Geography as a Science.

The main objective of this project is to perceive the advantages of using Remote Sensing theories and techniques for geographical interpretation of the urbanization process that took place in Sao Caetano do Sul, which is a city within the Metropolitan Area of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Given such purpose, this project is founded on the Theory of the Built Environment (BARTUSKA et. al., 2007), which is made use of for the analysis of Sao Caetano do Sul city from 1962 until 2010. In this context, the most important goal of this final thesis is to respond the following questions: “During this time frame, was there any modification in terms of the built environment in Sao Caetano do Sul? If so, what changed and, mainly, how did such transformation take place, temporarily, spatially and morphologically?”

The procedures for the present research are: Firstly, the activities of preprocessing photographs and satellite imagery; Secondly, the multi-temporal composition, used as a technique for digital processing of such imagery, in order to obtain a quantitative digital register of the evolution of the built environment in Sao Caetano do Sul city, which was thematically classified; Thirdly, the qualitative analysis of the evolution of the built environment in Sao Caetano do Sul city throughout historical documents and registers, producing strategic study cases; Finally, the comparative analysis of the results that emerged both from the digital imagery processing and the qualitative analysis of the built environment in Sao Caetano do Sul (case studies).

In conclusion, it is possible to affirm that there is a strong synergy between the results that emerged from remote sensing analysis and those that rose from the qualitative case studies.

Therefore, the analytical variable “vegetation cover” is likely to be a good indicator for soil consumption regarding new urban and real estate development within the city during the aforementioned time frame.

The land subdivision plan in South Suzano is bounded by a housing demand of this city, as well as a public policy of real estate valuation of areas already endowed with urban infrastructure and close to existing neighbourhoods - thus avoiding the onerous urban sprawl and protecting areas of peripheral water springs.

Within the municipal territory, it was decided to choose a group of idle and/or underutilized land properties, near the city centre, aiming to connect the surrounding urban fabric, currently very fragmented.

Thus, a general occupancy plan is set up for all the land properties, respecting environmental guidelines based both by the municipal Master Plan and by the Brazilian Forest Code. Roads are designed to join nearby existing subdivisions and set up city blocks. Housing types are placed according to dwelling densities that are established by the zoning code of the Master Plan.

The northernmost area among all the land properties, near the Max Feffer Park, due to its proximity to the city centre and the variety of housing types conceived, is detailed in a urban plan containing road layout, sidewalk design (especially street corners), blocks, plots, squares, parks, median strips and environmental preserved areas.

A combination of different types of land plots was sought in order to promote the interaction between different urban landscapes and a road design that values pedestrians and cyclist in the urban space without, however, restricting the access of private cars and/or public vehicles, reinforcing the connection between ‘Fernandes’ road and ‘Santa Monica’ road, to the south, and the designed parkway, to the north.

SUSA VALLEY - PIEMONTE | 2013 PROJECT: SUSA VALLEY - PIEMONTE. LOCATION: 38 MUNICIPALITIES OF THE SUSA VALLEY MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY, TO, ITALY. 44°50’30.70”N to 45°13’32.94”N, 6°37’38.21”E to 7°29’59.94”E CHARACTERISTIC: URBAN AND TERRITORIAL ANALYSES WITH GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM - GIS. YEAR: 2013 AUTHORSHIP: DENIS GIANNELLI, MARYÁ RABELO. The Susa Valley – in Italian, Val di Susa – is an important mountainous territory administered by the Province of Turin, situated a few kilometres from the City of Torino, capital of the Piedmont Region. Sharing its borders with France in the west, this valley is historically marked by the identity boundaries between French and Italian cultures and, therefore, the very history of its human occupation is bounded by the contemporary construction of administrative borders between these States. After the modern unification of Italy, the Susa Valley has undergone great environmental and social transformations, fruits of the new human dynamics and the construction of this site.

The spatial and statistical analyses, assisted by GIS tools, allowed verifying, between 1911 and 2010, different behaviour patterns in the demographic evolution (absolute and percentage) of those municipalities that compounds the Susa Valley, as well as the currently population of this territory. These data, once crossed with altimetric information, reveal the demographic dualism between the Upper Susa Valley – higher altitude municipalities, to the west – and the Lower Susa Valley – lower altitude municipalities, to the east.

Qualitatively, the produced clustering analyses also allowed observing groups of municipalities with similar behaviour, considering environmental factors (natural areas x urban sprawl), economic factors (tourism services x tertiary sector dynamics) and human factors (housing occupancy fee x inhabitants’ percentage by economic sector). These data are then crossed with those of population and services/activities offer, obtained from raster density technique methods.

At regional map scale, land use analysis evidence the dynamics of urban sprawl and that of the existing urban fabric, contrasting those with the available agricultural land area and the agricultural areas that were lost in the last decades. Mapping and overlapping risk factors – both anthropic and natural - also produce the environmental risk map base, which reveals that for both realities of this territory - Upper Susa Valley and Lower Susa Valley - much of existing urban fabric and new settlements suffer from some kind of environmental risk.

At urban scale, in turn, the available data allowed the development of a demographic index sequence capable of qualifying patterns of human settlement in the Susa Valley territory, revealing once more the contrast between the typical situation for the upper part – municipalities with a high seasonal population, due to tourism – and the typical situation for the lower portion – municipalities with a high index of housing occupancy and economic dynamics bounded by Turin metropolitan area.

N

A VIDA É UM MOINHO | LIFE IS A MILL Being a particularly central zone in the city of Sao Paulo, Campos Elísios neighbourhood is surrounded by what could be the future cultural area of the city, Nova Luz district. However, there is a portion of Campos Elísios that has been marginalized from this urban renewal process, the Favela do Moinho (‘Mill Slum’). This area consists of a segregated space - by more than 1.000 meters in length - between two railway lines belonging to the Sao Paulo Transport Company, and is currently walled by these rails on both north and south sides.

This surface is divided transversally to the middle by the extension of Rio Branco Avenue, an important axis connecting the northwest quadrant of the metropolis with its historical centre. As a result of this division, underneath the bridge, there are the eastern portion of the land property, occupied by the ‘Favela do Moinho’, where approximately 4.000 people live in extreme poverty, and the western portion of the area, characterized by abandoned and /or ruined sheds invaded by bushes and grass.

The urban design proposal for this area consists of the renewal of its spaces by connecting both north and south districts of this brownfield land, currently isolated due to the railway tracks, as well as by placing new community public areas and playgrounds for those inhabitants, by promoting open spaces for leisure activities and, finally, by building social housing for people who currently occupy this territory in jeopardizing conditions.

Thus, the reconnecting process of this area with its surrounding urban fabric should be associated with the urban morphology of these peripheral districts, assuming that a territorial palimpsest could be useful as a memory, a legacy for the city, but also that as a greater permeability for that territory could be interesting for new outdoor activities.

The designed building is placed along what once were the railway tracks at south of the area, meanwhile these tracks are gathered with those northbound, now put underground. The remaining outdoor spaces, in their turn, are designed as a system of green slopes that submerge and emerge from the railway tracks.

The social housing building has a free ground floor, having its level aligned with the street level south the area, providing a public space that stimulates pedestrians to access the commercial and services facilities. In the upper floors, in turn, the modular layout designs apartments and allows, by that, the composition of different kinds of apartments, proportional to the demands of those families that are to be relocated.

PARKING AREA: 2.940,00 sq metres.

The Municipality of Spinea, a member of the Province of Venice, Italy, was awarded important public transport facility: the new Spinea Station, part of the Regional Metropolitan Railway System – SFMR, in Italian – which aims to serve the centrality of the Veneto territory and connect its municipalities with the main city, Venice.

This urban and territorial infrastructure brings many benefits for the sustainable development of the territory, since it offers to citizens a quality public transport. In the urban context, the railway induces relevant changes in the way of using the civic space, given the possibility of traveling to/from the Station on foot, by bicycle, as well as by car, this last due to the convenience of practical and safe parking. The Station, thus, becomes a privileged terminal for the exchange with other modes of public transportation.

From field researches, it was noticed the importance of connecting Via Roma, the main road axis of the city, with Spinea Station by a renewal design for the existing route, passing by successive phases towards a complete redesign of the surrounding roads.

The urban design foresees the displacement of the automobile traffic, which currently crosses the whole city along its central axis, Via Roma, by means of a new designed road and of an underground pedestrian passage to the east of the railway tracks, that would connect with Via 11 Settembre 2001. Thus, all vehicles that do not need to stay in Spinea, but cross it to go to Venice or to Padova, can travel in the city’s edges, increasing by that its circulation speed during the route, on this external road, and making Via Roma safer and more livable for pedestrians and cyclists. In addition, due to traffic rearrangement, Via Roma has its maximum speed limit lowered to 50 km/h, and particularly to 30 km/h along the bridge that goes above the railway tracks and in the Spinea Station surrounding areas.

Therefore, three intervening evolutionary scenarios are created, based on the needs, financial and administrative perspectives of Spinea: the first one considers the current situation of the municipality, re qualifying ‘Via Unità’ road and creating an underground passage for pedestrians; the second one, based on the previous intervention made in the first scenario, considers a land subdivision project in the agricultural area that surrounds the Railway Station, creating a residential neighbourhood with sports and leisure areas; the third one, finally, increases the second scenario, designing a new main road to the north, external to the existing urban fabric.

NORTH CIRCULAR ROAD - PADOVA | 2012 PROJECT: NORTH CIRCULAR ROAD - PADOVA. LOCATION: TANGENZIALE NORD, PADOVA, PD, ITALIA. 45°26’18”N, 11°53’31”E CHARACTERISTIC: URBAN PROPOSALS AT NORTH PADOVA TERRITORY DUE TO THE NORTH CIRCULAR ROAD’S LANDSCAPE IMPACT. YEAR: 2012 AUTHORSHIP: CATARINA DIAS, CLAUDIA BIASIOLO, DENIS GIANNELLI, FRANCESCA VINCI, GIACOMO CECCHETTO, ILARIA DE LUCA, NICOLÒ BOLDRIN, PAOLO ZIN. The circular road of Padova – in Italian, ‘Tangenziale di Padova’ – is a newly built metropolitan infrastructure that has significantly transformed the territory of the municipality and its relation with its neighbour municipalities. Its northern section, built between 1997 and 2005, crosses an already urbanized area at the time which, as a result of this infrastructure, has been characterized since that period by a series of fragmented processes of urban development that create residual spaces - or “uncertain spaces” - disarticulated from the city’s evolving dynamics.

The study of urban growth processes in Padova shows how this city, since the beginning of its expansion beyond the historic centre, has had a north oriented enlargement vector. Both national highway A4 and later the North Circular Road, unlike other nearby cities in Veneto, cross the existing urban fabric at Padova in a process of residential expropriation plus road construction or, otherwise, a road construction process followed by housing building increase.

Thus, the territory in matter is currently characterized by urban areas in the midst of suburban agriculture and is crossed by the A4 + Circular Road system.

Regarding the usage of road infrastructure, it is perceived that the metropolitan area of Padova is not compounded by an attractive central nucleus and by numerous satellite municipalities depending on it, but rather each one forms an autonomous singular unit.

Although in a close symbiotic relation with the whole metropolitan system, each municipality is able to provide services, industrial areas, commercial areas and all other demands to their inhabitants. The circular road, therefore, becomes a fundamental element of displacement between municipalities, and is actually used as a privileged instrument for urban mobility in the metropolitan area.

The study of urban morphology in the region surrounded by the A4 + Circular Road System reveals in greater details how the infrastructure can be conceived in an autonomous logic, disharmonious to local landscape. Several types of residual spaces are created due to the road layout, such as road cloverleaves (notoriously in existing road exits), residual spaces, confining spaces and idle land properties thought by the municipality for new urban projects.

Given the previous analyses, it is proposed, at a conceptual level, the connection of these diverse ‘uncertain spaces’, each one of them with its own characteristics, in order to make a system of outdoor green spaces, compounded by linear parks, along the Brenta River, and by points of cultural interest within the city, reconnecting the urban neighbourhoods at north of Padova. In future hypothetical scenarios, Padova’s urban growth tendencies are speculated, and it is also questioned how an outdoor green spaces system could outline new social practices in this territory.

In that context, the ‘PRS-VP’ previously endorses specific guidelines for the hospital perimeter and its surroundings, these being: • • • • • • •

N

To transform the urban landscape of ‘José Jeraissati’ street by a new volumetric composition for the Hospital’s building at its surroundings.

To preserve the residual fragment of Atlantic Forest that stands along Suzano Creek, classified as a ‘heterogeneous forest’ in the Municipal Plan for Conservation and Recovery of the Atlantic Forest.

To redesign traffic lanes and sidewalks at ‘José Jeraissati’ street in order to guarantee universal accessibility, organized traffic of public transportation vehicles and safe access for pedestrians to ‘Henrique Altimeyer’ Hospital.

To redesign traffic lanes and sidewalks at ‘Brumado de Minas’ avenue and ‘Jacinto Menezes Palhares’ avenue in order to qualify the environment and the outdoors spaces along Suzano Creek.

To reorganize traffic in the surroundings, allowing alternative routes the automobile flow between the ‘Vila Alpina’ and ‘Jardim Avelino’ neighbourhoods, in ‘Vila Prudente’ District, and the ‘Jardim Independência’ neighbourhood, in ‘São Lucas’ District.

To connect the bike lane of ‘Francisco Falconi’ avenue with the bike lane of ‘Brumado de Minas’ avenue, linking the local cycling network.

To harmonize pedestrian, bike, bus and private vehicles traffic with cargo vehicles traffic demanded by the industrial and logistic land use in this territory. Highlight for ‘Jacinto Menezes Palhares’ avenue.

The conceived urban design, thus, solves demands that were already established by the ‘Regional Sectoral Plan’ for the Vila Prudente ‘borough’ - ‘PRS-VP’ in matter of public and private space design. A ‘Zone 40 Km/h’ is created around the hospital’s accesses, conceived with concrete paving blocks in order to reduce the vehicles’ speed, as well as road sections are redesigned for qualifying pedestrians and automobiles transit. One of Suzano Creek’s banks is redesigned with new sidewalks and a new bike lane, remodelling it to become a parkway, while the existing bike lanes are connected to each other. Finally, ’José Jeraissati’ street is remodelled with a new institutional plot, followed by new green spaces that transform the road’s landscape.

PARANAPIACABA. FROM ‘TUPI’ LANGUAGE – PARANÁ (SEA) EPIAK (TO SEE) ABA (PLACE).

Paranapiacaba, originally known as ‘High Ridge’ – in Portuguese, ‘Alto da Serra’ – was developed as a logistic enterprise for maintaining and controlling the railway line that would connect Sao Paulo – at that time, a small size village – with the Port of Santos. The business, financed with English capital, provided a unique architectural heritage amidst the exuberant nature of the Atlantic Forest. Over the years, the economic dynamics of modern Brazil led to the progressive abandonment of the railway, and consequently to the very existence of the Vila itself. At the present time, characterized by material abandonment over decades and by progressive tourist interest, the Vila seeks to rediscover its own identity.

Three main thematic axes are thought for the village: Mobility, Leisure and Education.

Together, they compose a set of urban facilities that seek to structure a new urban design for Paranapiacaba, both reconnecting the two sides of the Vila, Upper Part, to the west, and Lower Part, to the east, and bringing a series of public services so the Villa can be more lively, promoting urbanity to an environment that seeks to rethink its local identity from rescuing a railway past and claiming present tourist vocation.

At the territorial planning scale, considering a scenario in which the railway would resume transporting passengers throughout Sao Paulo State – as intended by local State Government – it was suggested that the railway tracks would be shared for both goods and passengers mobility. At the urban scale, two new railroad crossings were designed: a footbridge, making the displacement for those coming from the accessing road easier, and a tunnel, making the passage of vehicles between both sides of the village possible.

The Railway Park replaces several sheds and abandoned buildings in the area, forming a generous green space for leisure and outdoors activities. The Park’s facilities compounds this place in different sectors, such as: one for sports practicing, another one with gymnastics equipment and infantile playground in a wooded environment and, finally, an outdoor wood deck, thought for social gatherings besides a lake, creating a sort of an urban ‘seashore’.

Reaffirming an environmental suitability for Paranapiacaba, in the midst of the exuberant Brazilian Atlantic Forest, a third axis was destined for a Research and Environment Education Centre, promoting academic activities about local fauna and flora, and thus offering public visits so tourists, but also local inhabitants, can have a better understanding of its surrounding environment.

ALVEARE – from the Italian, beehive – comes from the hypothesis of a hydraulic module designed for an emergency shelter for victims of natural disasters, to be provided by public agencies or NGOs as a temporary measure. This approach brought some basic premises, namely: the use of prefabricated elements coupled in-loco; hydraulic installations that were independent from local public water network, which may eventually be destroyed at the time of need; geometric moulds, built in a modular system, that adapt to the physical space available for its use.

The assembly is planned in outdoors spaces, such as public squares, lawns, streets, idle land properties, etc. In case of a slope terrain, horizontality is guaranteed by a metallic structure system that can be levelled as needed. The coupling between units takes advantage of geometric shapes coming from regular hexagons, allowing several different arrangements, having their entrances oriented in opposite directions for each module. Therefore, the arrangement’s flexibility allows modules to fit as a response to the site where they are placed.

Sleeping cells are arranged in the perimeter of the module, containing a bunk bed and space for personal belongings. The hydraulic core, in turn, is shared in its centre, where people can have meals, prepare food, take care of personal hygiene and also wash their clothes. The internal displacement within the module finally takes place through a perimeter corridor between the cells and the hydraulic core, allowing people to enter and leave the shelter by the suppression of two sleep cabins. This layout, therefore, combines private and collective spaces in a modular design, like honeycombs.

Finally, a rainwater collection system is used for sanitary toilets, with an own water tank and piping system, independent of the clean water tank used for hygienic needs, this being refilled by a water truck. Sanitary sewage pipes are placed in a low technical floor towards a water treatment centre, being only one collector pipe per modular shelter. Regarding energy supply, solar panels – sometimes worth it according to location and climatic conditions – are used as an alternative electricity supply The design aimed at the use of parts with equal dimensions for optimizing production and assembly. The idea of self-contained housing units for emergency situations is guaranteed by rationalizing industrial with the use of prefabricated industrial modules, assembled in loco.

The territory presents two large zones, one of residential characteristics, bordering the Venetian Lagoon, and another of natural features. The Urban Park inserts itself between these two natural zones, creating a third strip, a path that mediates both conditions, a circuit in addition to the Lagoon’s marginal route. Thus, the area is compounded by two main centralities - the Aquarium and the Research Centre - and is divided in three paths that interact among each other: one is the marginal road to the Venetian Lagoon; another is the central route, which concentrates the Park’s facilities; and, last, the path inside the woodland that connects the main buildings of heritage interest.

This area has a significant set of historical, cultural and monumental public properties of heritage value. The Aquarium building, therefore, presents itself as a significant element in addition to the urban facilities network, being connected with the proposed routes within the Urban Park.

The Research Centre occupies pre existing historical buildings, recognizing their heritage value, while the Aquarium is placed where once was a group of military facilities, strategically located on the Venetian lagoon’s shore, near San Nicolò’s outlet, which allows vessel traffic towards the Adriatic Sea. The overview tower, furthermore, makes the Aquarium part of the Venetian Lagoon’s urban skyline.

Three different types of routes structure the Aquarium. The first one, external, connects it with the Urban Park, designing the master plan as a whole. The second route is the one that water must perform to circulate inside the Aquarium tanks and pipes. Due to the impossibility of excavating near the lagoon, the water, by means of solar energy powered pumps, makes its way up to a reservoir and then is subsequently distributed into several tanks, from where it falls again.

Finally, the third route is the one inside the building, that is, the museum path: visitors, whenever entering and exiting through the same access, circulate throughout a set of steps in enclosed rooms.

The structural solution comes from the requirement to support heavy loads on the technical pavement. As a consequence, a five meters span structural grid was designed, which induces the layout of internal rooms by their modular dimensions.

In addition to the water tanks, the building also offers service and didactic activities rooms. Steps between rooms and the structural modulation allow these main attractions to be organized throughout the museum path.

In an attempt to minimize environmental impacts caused by energy consumption, heat exchanges between interior and outside environment were measured, as well as the energy required for maintaining the tanks precise temperature and the water movement. Photovoltaic panels, arranged on the roof deck, provide all the electricity demand in the summer and support it during winter, offsetting much of the financial resources spent on energy.

The Antonico Creek renewal plan is part of a set of public policies designed for the city’s slums urban development, seeking to provide legal conditions to this territory as an authentic city environment, qualifying it with the necessary infrastructure networks.

Therefore, the placemaking process should be conceived in order to maximize outdoor public spaces, as the whole neighbourhood lacks generous leisure areas and public facilities.

The building arrangement in the master plan area, thus, must be related with their surrounding outdoor areas, so that those become physical, visual, aesthetic and psychological extensions of these, and vice versa.

In order to create an outdoors space system that would also respect the linear shaped design of Antonico Park, all four social housing buildings were aligned in a grid, which was dimensioned and placed according to the building’s width and/or length, thus creating continuous visual perspectives. Each building is designed in a single shape, as well as each one of them has a particular entrance related to its surroundings, guaranteeing their specificity without, however, losing the understanding of a general composition, both from an aesthetic point of view - materials and façades - and from a placemaking point of view – indoor/outdoor relation.

The social housing designed building consists of two apartment blocks, symmetrical to each other by an axis within a central corridor, where stairs and elevator are placed. Common areas are priority inside the housing unit, which has a large living room and a balcony, conceived for outdoor activities, just like in a porch. Wet areas are gathered in the central part of the unit and bounded by the building’s concrete structure. Frontwards, to the north, two sleeping rooms are placed, each one of them with its bathroom.

The ground floor, instead, is occupied both by the Paraisópolis Communication Centre – a community public facility designed to allow contact between local community and governmental authorities – and bicycle parking racks, capable of serving building’s inhabitants.

In aware of the retaining wall that keeps the building’s ground floor lower than its surroundings, a metallic structure was then fixed between the building’s backward wall and the retaining wall, allowing people coming from the surrounding ramps and gardens to access the first floor directly.

Two key concepts design the building: an environmental issue and the “street culture”.

Given the fact that this particular square is located near the water reservoir, in an area of environmental protection, it was required special care regarding land permeability rate, which should be as large as possible. In addition, the notorious terrain slope makes it less suitable for great earthworks. Regarding the “street culture”, it was noticed during field researches a great belongingness feeling from local inhabitants towards the streets and so these should be maintained, as a social centre for the neighbourhood, or at least something that could replace this gathering environment.

The long shaped social housing building ensures a great outdoor area within the rest of the block. The building’s exterior corridors are wide so as to promote inhabitant’s displacement but also a living environment for them, as it currently happens in local streets. All floors have at least one public space, thought to be as a small square for building’s inhabitants, aiming to bring the ‘street culture’ towards the building.

The housing units have an area of 50 square metres and two sleeping rooms each, within a structural module of 5 metres width per 10 metres length. By rotating the housing units into alternating floors, both building’s façades become liveable, eliminating a backward aspect, and it also ensures double height for the external corridors. Apartments are displaced from the external corridor by a frontal setback, while private walkways allow their access, ensuring a transition between a private space - the apartment itself - and a shared space - the building’s corridor.

A 10 metres width per 10 metres length concrete wall module establishes the building’s construction technique and fits two symmetrical apartments within. Metallic external corridors allow horizontal movement, while lateral staircase, central ‘X’ shaped staircases and two central lifts allow vertical movement.

Seeking the best land use and a great overview towards the water reservoir, the social housing building was placed in the block’s highest edge, so this tall building, positioned at the highest level, would not disturb the overview from the rest of property towards the water reservoir.

Commercial modules were set in short building volumes, irregularly distributed throughout lower parts of the block, creating therefore different perspectives between built-up spaces and outdoors areas. The land slope is seized in order to access commercial buildings’ roofing slabs, designed as roof gardens.

COMMUTING SQUARE - BUTANTÃ | 2010 PROJECT: COMMUTING SQUARE - BUTANTÃ.

LOCATION: AVENIDA DOUTOR VITAL BRASIL - BUTANTÃ - SÃO PAULO, SP, BRASIL. 23°34’18”S, 46°42’31”W YEAR: 2010 AUTHORSHIP: BRUNO SATIN, DENIS GIANNELLI, LUCAS ROCA, LUCAS LIMA VIEIRA, RAFAEL MONTEIRO. LAND PLOT AREA: 12.870 sq metres approximately.

BUILT-UP AREA: 9.460 sq metres approximately - excluding Butantã Station Building.

FLOOR AREA RATIO: 0,74 approximately.

The master plan main proposal was to redesign the city block where the new ‘Butantã’ Underground Station was previously built, considering a full land expropriation by local authorities. Its central guideline is based on associating different means of transport, persuading citizens into an unusual practice at the time: the combined usage of bicycles, known for a free guidance route, and public vehicles that are able to travel greater distances, such as buses and underground trains.

Therefore, ‘Butantã’ Underground Station building, which was originally designed by ‘Tetra Projetos’ studio, is maintained, while a bus terminal – foreseen in the Sao Paulo mobility plan –, several bicycle racks and commercial modules are proposed.

Aiming a great connection between the designed building and its surroundings, a large walking hall is placed underground, making pedestrian transit easier not only among different vehicles – underground trains, buses, bicycles, etc. – but also to the neighbour civic square, designed by a partner team, where social facilities are gathered within one building, right after Camargo street. In this context, a strong physical connection is created between these two important public building, one gathering multi modal public transport and another grouping sports and leisure facilities.

An urban landscape analyses at ‘Butantã’ neighbourhood – especially at ‘Doutor Vital Brasil’ avenue – revealed the importance of a new open public space that would contrast with several future vertical building, soon expected as the real estate market profits from the underground station position.

Therefore, the square is designed as an inclined plane shape, a large ramp characterized by its low slope – nearly horizontal – that stands out from ‘Doutor Vita Brasil’ avenue, creating a great civic space. The underground, in turn, shelters not only all vehicles and parking areas – bike racks and the bus terminal – but also commercial shops. Buses are kept along ‘MMDC’ street, underneath the ramp shaped structure, keeping citizens and staff protected from weather conditions and also hiding the vehicles from the main square overview.

The Bandeirante House, an important material heritage for Sao Paulo, is a singular representative of the rammed earth constructive technique, which was employed by ‘Bandeirante’ people during Brazil’s historical colonial period. However, administrative, storing and teaching activities were unable to be maintained in the main building, since there was not enough space.

The annex building, therefore, is designed not only for sheltering those activities near the main historical house, but also for allowing expositions, conferences and cultural performances sponsored by Sao Paulo local government, in order to provide for its citizens lessons about the history of the city.

The annex building is placed away from the main house, respecting the existing material heritage and also benefiting from the land slope. Since the annex would have at least one more level above ground floor, it was decided to place it on a lower land so it shouldn’t be so much higher than the Bandeirante house. A connection route between both buildings, however, centres the landscape composition in the surroundings.

Inside the annex building, a courtyard leads to all ground floor rooms. In this area tree species are placed in a permeable flowerbed, creating a microenvironment on the building’s interior. The auditorium is placed underground, taking advantage of the existing land slope and the lack of sunlight; Classrooms, exhibition rooms, workshop rooms and a museum occupy ground floor, while administrative rooms and a dining room for employees are gathered in the upper floor.

Vertical access is provided by ramps, compounding the backward façade layout, while stairs and a lift design the building’s main entrance, right bellow a balcony in the upper floor, from where it is possible to observe the ‘Bandeirante’ House in an overview.
