The Streets of São Paulo

São Paulo Endless 1.

Metropolitan São Paulo has a population of roughly 20 millions inhabitants on a surface of roughly 8000 sqKm (as a comparison, the Netherlands have a population of roughly 16 millions on a surface of roughly 40,000 sqKm). Still, São Paulo is a city, not a country. A city made of the same amount of objects accumulated in the space of a country such as the Netherlands. A city with as many gas stations as an entire country, as many football fields as an entire country, just one after the other, object next to object, next to object, next to object. São Paulo endless.

2.

São Paulo is a city. It ends at a certain point, it has a name, it is precisely present in the memory of its inhabitants. Still São Paulo is a city that undermines pre-established (European) categories about the image and the collective memory of the city. Even if São Paulo is a very defined urban ensemble, the product of a precise interpretation of a very particular landscape, the metropolis does not produce a detailed picture in the memory of its own inhabitants. São Paulo is a city no citizen can claim to know entirely. Contrary to the generic city, São Paulo does not lack an ambition towards a precise identity, yet this ambition is defied by the sheer scale of the city. The final result of this particular situation is mixed.

The memory of the city is double-sided: geographic clarity coexists with local incertitude. São Paulo is a field covered with a repetition of extremely similar objects: shopping malls, gas stations, logistic centres; all of them almost the same, impossible to recognize, impossible to localize.

All of them emerging and vanishing into a blurred picture, recursive and imprecise: endless Petrobras gas stations, infinite Ipiranga. Nobody knows if Petrobras A is 25 Km north-west of the centre, along Bandeirantes, or 15 Km south-east, along Imigrantes, he just knows he already saw it a million times. Nobody in São Paulo really possesses a detailed mental map of the city (the most typical discussion is about which road is better to take in order to go from A to B). The image of the city oscillates among precise (geographical) borders; still it is not fixed, not entirely on focus. Objects are connected in to distracted perception of the drivers, repeating with minimal variations like in an industrial Art of Fugue.

3.

São Paulo metropolitan identity is complex because it combines a very precise geographic condition with an entirely unclear local condition. What is precise at the metropolitan, infrastructural scale becomes blurred at the scale of the single place. Objects do not have a fixed location in the collective memory. They float like rafts swinging in the infrastructural stream.

São Paulo is a landscape without places, it repeats hill after hill, creek after creek, and so does the city, turnpike after turnpike, favela after favela. The image of the city is at the same time precise and blurred. São Paulo poses the question of what a city is and of what it means to belong to a city. This happens because of pure scale. São Paulo is so big that citizens cannot have anymore a precise relation to the city they live in. Citizens belong to the city of São Paulo, they clearly recognize São Paulo as a city, but there is

10

The Berlage Institute Research Report No.xx 2011

no clear opinion on the details of that city. São Paulo is a city to which it is possible to belong only in multiple terms, with different degrees of precision.

A city as São Paulo forces us to re-define the notion of citizenship. São Paulo is a city, a shared landscape that defines a way of living, a collective product, but a collective product with uncertain geography. Parallel to the impossibility for the citizens to know in detail the organization of the city there is the impossibility to know the history of the transformations of the city. No urban history can help the architects operating in São Paulo. No way to get precise knowledge of all the transformations that produced the city, no way to follow the expansion, to recognize legal and illegal. Only the geographic background can help us, and a detailed knowledge of the particular sites. Nothing in between. The city as we traditionally know vanishes into landscape and reappears only into details. Local fragments float in the metropolitan landscape.

4.

São Paulo is a very specific interpretation of a very specific landscape.

The violent beauty of contemporary São Paulo is not so entirely artificial as we might suspect at first glance. The little hills and the small creeks of the planalto define a geography that has not disappeared into the city: only valleys became highways and hills became micro-cities (either favelas or rich neighbourhoods or infinite nuances in between the two, does not really matter here). The process developed at incredibly fast pace. Even if founded in 1532, São Paulo still had a population lower than 300,000 in 1900. The city we know nowadays grew in just hundred years. Rivers became highways all of a sudden. In this radical (if not brutal) process of transformation and reinterpretation, the city of São Paulo turned rivers into canals, creeks into highways, hills into settlements and changed the direction of flows of the rivers, producing a city made of islands floating in a whirl of infrastructure. The formalization of the primeval geography produced an abstract reproduction of the original.

Like the seven hills surviving in the massive agglomeration of palaces of imperial Rome, the valley and the hills of the planalto survive in the highways, in the clusters of towers and in the favelas of contemporary São Paulo. Like in Rome, the original landscape has been re-defined; re-designed, re-built, creating a new geography that formalizes the original one. If we consider the relative weakness of the original landscape and the potential violence of technology applied to transform it (the industrial technology of the Fordist era, the survival (in a mutated form) of the original landscape is quite surprising. São Paulo is not imperial Rome: machines, dynamite and electric power allowed in São Paulo transformations that were unthinkable with the limited means of enslaved work-force. São Paulo is also not Rio de Janeiro: the primeval landscape of the Tiete and Pinheiros valley was not particularly impressive; on the contrary, the planalto here is quite gentle. It could have disappeared quite easily. Seen form this point of view, São Paulo (for all its hydrologic disaster) has been surprisingly subtle in its re-elaboration of the original geography. Confrontation with nature has been ruthless (and sometimes catastrophic) but not disrespectful.

São Paulo is a city for the car. It is the centre of South American car manufacturing. All infrastructures, starting from the (questionable but very precise) strategy envisioned by Francisco Prestes Maia (engineer and later mayor of São Paulo) in the 30s, has been built for the car.

Still São Paulo, with more than 8 millions cars in the metropolitan region, has only around 0,4 cars per person compared to 0,6 in Los Angeles. The majority of São Paulo inhabitants do not own a car. São Paulo is not only a city for the car. Paulistas do walk in the city. This situation produces a hybrid urban condition. São Paulo is not precisely L. A. São Paulo is a more complex urban formation: splinters of traditional (pedestrian) city fabric (the formalized public spaces of the centre but also the medieval liveliness of the favelas) survive together with gigantic malls, superhighways and colossal industrial and logistic settlements.

Inside of this multi-layered environment, the divide produced by traffic infrastructure feels even stronger. Pedestrian paths through the city are sometimes very inefficient and unnecessarily complicated or dangerous.

The micro-cities have only a relation to the large-scale infrastructure, but they are entirely isolated from one another. Pedestrian connections have been clearly overlooked in the construction of the traffic infrastructure.

With an overall extension of metropolitan highways of ca. 370 km, in São Paulo there are only 150 pedestrian bridges (including car + pedestrian bridges) crossing over the roads, that makes a pedestrian connection every 2.5 Km, way too little to produce a city accessible to all its inhabitants.

This evident need of the city (combined with the need for public facilities particularly in the informal areas) provides an opportunity to imagine a new type of pedestrian bridges, combining the possibility to cross the highway with public program and panoramic views.

6.

São Paulo is made of many smaller settlements. It is important to underline that many of these settlements are called “city” (just to list a few: Vila Churruca, Vila Formosa, Vila Galvão, Vila Guilherme, Vila Leopolidina, Vila Maria, Vila Mariana, Vila Prudente, Cidade Ademar, Cidade Líder, Cidade de Tiradentes, Hygeniopolis, Paraisópolis). São Paulo is a gigantic collection of micro-cities that do not reach the scale that would be sufficient to claim some sort of independence. The micro-cities belong to São Paulo: their citizens are citizens of São Paulo, not of Vila Prudente or Hygeniopolis. The historical formation of such micro-cities, whether originally favelas or industrial settlements or large-scale real estate speculations does not really matter. The micro-city usually corresponds to the atomic geographic unit, a little hill. The city uses these different microcities as experimental fields: some can flourish, and some can languish. In time, the equilibrium among the different micro-cities can change: microcity A can suddenly blossom while micro-city B barely survives. Anyhow, does not matter the success of the different cases, all the components of São Paulo operate in the same way. The rich micro-cities of Libertade and Hygeniopolis have the same scale of the poor Vila Galvão or of the very poor Paraisópolis, the same relation to geography and to infrastructure.

The metropolitan grammar of São Paulo is one.

The Streets of São Paulo

13

The divide among micro-cities (created by geography and reinforced by infrastructure) is an opportunity to imagine a possible connection, a system of bridges and viaducts creating a public domain in the form of an artificial valley. Tunnels and bridges are already part of the grammar of the (richest part of ) the city.

For instance, Anhangabaú (was) is a small creek ending into Tamanduateí.

The confluence of the two rivers defined the location of the original Jesuit settlement. Later the valley of Anhangabaú was transformed into a road and then a highway and then covered with a system of bridges and viaducts and finally enclosed in a tunnel. Over time, this process of transformation of the original valley created the amazing public space now connecting Sé and República. Given that the geography of Cabuçu de Cima is the same of Anhangabaú, what worked in the case of Anhangabaú can work also for Cabuçu de Cima. Bridges can be the starting point in the production a new type of public space for metropolitan São Paulo.

7.

São Paulo now has the energy, the money and the desire to rework its organization and its image for the future. The municipality is committed to involve the informal settlements in this transformation. So, what to do?

Beyond bringing sanitation and regular electricity, what to do for favelas and for São Paulo?

Favelas can improve only as components of the city; they can solve their problems only inside of a strategy that considers them crucial for the general improvement of the metropolitan city. Favelas can progress only if seen as opportunities for the city as a totality. As such, favelas are crucial places for the construction of São Paulo and for the construction of a collective memory that could be shared by all its inhabitants, without distinctions of income, race, and gender. Favelas should participate in the definition of the image of the city: there should be reasons to go to Parisiopolis also for people who do not live there. Paraisópolis should belong to the shared image of São Paulo as well as Hygienópolis. A project for metropolitan São Paulo has to start from this multiple and unified idea of the city. All the pieces of the city should contribute to its precise and blurred identity.

A first set of interventions can be made of pedestrian bridges crossing highways, connecting neighbourhoods and hosting additional public program. The bridges work both locally and at the metropolitan scale, strongly appearing both in the local context and in the metropolitan network, presenting the different settlements on the wider metropolitan stage. Their strategic locations and their inherent visibility identify the bridges as objects to be remembered (even if vaguely), monuments.

8.

The new bridges operate in the city in two manners. At the local scale they relate to the neighbouring urban tissue, adding connections (and eventually program), at the larger scale, they are big elements appearing while driving along the highways. Bridges introduce a new element in the geography of the city, creating a sequence of objects to be perceived in succession. The recurring figures of the bridges frame the experience of the drivers. Bridges operate as large-scale billboards, immediately monumentalizing the public programs associated with them. The bridges are decorated with schemes associated with the colours of the city and of the state of São Paulo.

The bridges follow the style of the collective memory of São Paulo; they are remembered vaguely, contributing to the larger image of the city in a subtle, somehow unpredictable way. The bridges merge into the city, without defining a separate identity for the areas they belong to: monuments of the city at large, not of the local neighbourhoods. The bridges (and the sequence of the bridges) immediately belong to São Paulo, without building a separate, conflictual identity for the favelas.

Bridges combine precision at the local scale with a specific sensibility for the overall geography of the city. They precisely react to a context while unconsciously acting on collective memory. The bridges appear and disappear and reappear in the everyday experience and in the memory of the drivers, producing a polyphonic sequence of images, real and unreal, seen and remembered. Bridges frame the endless drive through the roads of São Paulo, all the same, and all different. Where is actually bridge 47, the one with the black and white stripes? And where is bridge 24, the one with the zig-zag pattern and the palm trees on top?

The constitutive coincidence of materiality and abstraction of the city defines a starting point to imagine its future transformations (in the words of Aldo Rossi: accepting all of the elements that we encounter in a given territory as being homogeneous without supposing that there is a divide separating each element from the next). This positive indifference of the city allows to re-consider the case of São Paulo and to recognize all micro-cities of São Paulo as equal. Favelas need to be treated like the rest of the city. In fact, favelas share the grammar of the rest of the city. Favelas are just poorer and younger, but they are not inherently exceptional, ontologically alien, and materially other. Again, what worked in the case of Anhangabaú can work also for Cabuçu de Cima. São Paulo needs to learn, first of all, from São Paulo.

Inside of this strategy, it is possible to imagine interventions operating locally inside of the city fabric and globally on the collective memory.

Neighborhoods of the city The city of São Paulo is made of small islands or micro cities that are shaped by the topography. These small islands’ growth was also controlled to it. The perceptions of these small islands that form the metropolis are some how related to the original landscape and certain. The valleys, hills and rivers create the fragmentation. These fragmentations are intervened by infrastructure, which work as both connection and division.

The map shows the interpretation and how it looks like according to our reading of the city. First, the drawing begins with original landscape and infrastructures of the city, which are based on the existing conditions of the river, streets and greenery and the intervention of machine made landmarks and structure, which includes the industrial site, shopping centre and sport complex. At the same time, it is shown certain connections between each fragmentation. It is a sort of aspects of perception, which points out a collective memory of the inhabitants. Then it is generated by border of neighborhoods based on the infrastructure such as the streets and the city fabric.

GROWTH AND EVOLUTION

The Streets of São Paulo

29

Growth and Evolution

São Paulo de Piratininga emerged with the Bandeirantes movement and the Jesuits occupation, in the 16th century. The first village was constructed around the Pátio do Colégio (jesuits school patio) in a very strategic location, previously chosen by natives. The Planalto Paulista is a plateau situated close to the sea, but 750 meters above. It’s main river, Tietê, doesn’t flow straight to the sea but makes a turn around the basin connecting to Paraná river basins, in the south. The very first village was located in a well positioned and protected hill between two smaller rivers: Tamanduateí and Anhangabaú.

Towards the 19th century the region was boosted by the development of the sugar cane production and later, the coffee fields. The construction of the São Paulo Railway, in 1867, necessary for the exporting of the coffee production stimulated also the industrialization. The location chosen for the implementation of those were the lowlands of the rivers due to the easiness of construction and low investments in engineering and expropriation. Consequently, factories started to emerge along the railroad, attracted by the facilities of transportation, water supply and drainage.

In the early 20th century the technological advances that allowed the transgression of natural barriers such as valleys and rivers were the driving force to the growth of the city and the population explosion due to the success of industrialization. The speed in which the city was growing made urgent the construction of roads and avenues along the valleys in order to connect the vilas and that were already spreading throughout the landscape. For this reason the location of roads were again chosen by effortless and low costs of construction. In addition, the infrastructure works were almost always paired with private entrepreneurship of land subdivision and real state development. Those vilas, simultaneously connected and separated by infrastructure, were progressively incorporated to the tissue of the city.

1924 The Sanitarian Engineer Saturnino de Brito proposed in 1924 a plan for the low lands of TietĂŞ River consisting of the construction of dams to avoid the floods caused by the river and a continuity of parks, leaving the area empty for receiving and absorving the water in the rain periods. The plan was not accepted and the area was highly

occupied in the following decades, firstly by industries and then commercial and residential areas, ending with the canalization of the river and the construction of highways on its margins. The city suffers constantly by the effects of the flood.

1930 The engineer, and later on, mayor of São Paulo, Prestes Maia, proposed in 1935 the Plano de Avenidas (Avenues Plan) which consists of a plan of a radial system of avenues with subsequential road rings and and radial avenues connecting the suburbs to the city center. The plan was slowly accomplished by the construction of many avenues along the past decades and traces form the plan can still be found in recent projects such as the Rodoanel, still under construction. It was also in the propostal, underground passages, which only started in 1975, with the inauguration of the metro.

1881 AFter the independency of Brazil in 1822, the region suffered a rapid increase of population due to the growth of the coffee production. Campos Elísios was the first comercial land subdivision, to host the coffee elite that came to live in the city. And Luz, next to the main train station held the first public garden of the city.

In 1867 the São Paulo Railway was inaugurated, connecting the city of São Paulo and the coffee fields to the port of Santos, facilitating the export of coffe and the transport of construction material. The tramway was implemented in 1872 although still using animal track.

1962 In the 50’s the city faced a massive pressure for urbanization and demographic growth. The attention was driven to the construction of infrastructure, which meant manly highways with only punctual intervention on the suburbs.

The Berlage Institute Research Report No.xx 2011

Some new landmarks reinforced the modernist character of the city like the pavillons in Ibirapuera in 1954 and the Museum of Art of São Paulo - Masp - by Lina Bo Bardi in 1957. The construction of Fernão Dias Road was inaugurated in 1960 and the fist road ring is proposed for deviating the inter-minicipality traffic.

2011 The Final Road Ring begins to be constructed, called Rodoanel. This time, surrounding the entire metropolitan region, has the aim of deviating the heavy traffic from marginais Pinheiros and Tietê. These avenues, ideally, will

serve only for metropolitan traffic. In 2011 around half of the Rodoanel is ready and functioning and another great part is currently under construction.

Vale do Anhangabaú

The Anhangabaú Valley, and it’s homonym river, borders Pátio do Colégio the first jesuit form of occupation in São Paulo - on it’s east side. Across it, the first official land subdivision took place in 1806, called Cidade Nova the new city. It’s crossing was done by bridges in which the second one was constructed in 1809 once the fist was destroyed by flood. Embankments were also done with stone sills and benches on the side and these were the first known urban improvements to take place.

With the growth of the city towards the east, a better transposition became necessary. It was when, in 1892, the Viaduto do Chá was constructed entirely in metal structures. The name refers to a farmstead for tea - in portuguese, chá - previously existent in those lands. Already in 1900 it was transformed in order to be part of the electric tramway course.

Viaduto do Chá, 1902

The plans for improvements of the old city center started in the first decade of the 20th Century with the plan to construct the Municipal Theater between 1903-1911 which lead to the reconstruction of the Anhangabaú valley, with the demolition of buildings surrounding the valley and the construction of a second viaduct, Santa Ifigênia. During the administration of Washington Luís (1914-1917) a park was constructed, the Parque do Anhangabaú. The place became the symbol of the modernization of the city being enclosed by new and important buildings.

A new Viaduto no Chá was constructed in 1930 nurturing other transformations in the valley at a period in which urban monumentality was still the leading tendency. The following transformations in the valley were in the accordance with further infrastructure investments happening in the city from the 50’s on, like the construction of the large tunnels underneath, as a continuation of the recently built highways.

This added another layer of flow to the same location: the river, the cars, the pedestrians at park, in the valley and finally, the pedestrians above it, on the viaducts going each and separate ways. It not only maintains but straightens the ambiguous character of the space: the one of passage and the one of permanece.

Anhangabaú

(Mário Moraes de Andrade)

(Mário Moraes de Andrade)

Fino, límpido rio, que assististe, em épocas passadas, nas primeiras horas do dia, à despedida triste das heróicas monções e das bandeiras:

Thin, clear river, that watches in past times, at the firsts hours of day, to the sad farewell of heroic monsoon and bandeiras

meu Anhangabahú das lavadeiras, nem o teu leito ressequido existe!

Que é de ti, afinal? Onde te esgueiras?

My Anhangabaú of laundress, not even your dry bed exists!

What was made of you? Where do you sneak?

Para que vargens novas te partiste?

Sepultaram te os filhos dos teus filhos: e ergueram sobre tua sepultura novos padrões de glorias e de brilhos.

To which new lowlands did you leave?

They buried the sons of your sons and rose on your grave new stantards for glory and shine

Mas dum exilio não te amarga a idea: levas, feliz, a tua vida obscura no proprio coração da Paulicéa!

But from the exile does not bitter the idea: lives, happily, your obscure life at the very heart of Paulicéia!

The roads of São Paulo São Paulo’s highways, often constructed in the lowlands of mostly canalised rivers, can vary in scale and geographic location, but mostly they resemble. Much of the adjacent landscape consists of repeating elements, gas stations, favelas, shopping malls, social housing etc. Some iconic buildings are easy to identify, like the sambodromo and the Portuguesa stadium along Marginal Tietê. Other than these, crossing bridges recognizable by a small sign showing their name, form the best points of orientation. This condition exists throughout the whole city. For our research we focus on three different roads, Rodoanel, Marginal Tietê and Rodovia Fernão Dias.

Rodoanel

Rodoanel is the ring road around the city, at the moment only partially built. The first section was inaugurated in October 2002, the second part in 2010 and the whole project is planned to be completed in 2018. The road has been mostly built in natural area, but also crosses a few existing municipalities. With a speed limit of 100km/h, most neighbourhoods have turned their back towards this highway. Residents of a wealthy neighbourhood have even financed their own sound barriers. The most occurring image along this road is therefore the green, mountainous landscape, here and there covered by informal settlements.

Rodovia Fernão Dias, a road varying in width between 8 and 12 lanes, is located in the north of the city. It runs along the border between São Paulo municipality and the neighbouring city of Guarulhos and passes through the Cabuçu de Cima water basin area. From Tietê river to the north, the surrounding landscape changes from flat land, covered by both industrial and residential areas, to a hilly landscape, originally protected nature, now partly covered by favelas. Strongly present along the street are walls, to protect possessions, but often also used as background for signs and publicity. Bright colours are used to paint walls, water towers or whole buildings. Social housing blocks may change in exact composition and colour combination, but their overall appearance is similar.

Marginal Tietê

While Marginal Tietê is of a completely different scale, Tietê river bordered by on average two 8-lane roads and in-between strips of green, the adjacent elements are similar. More gas stations, this time clustered, and brightly coloured water towers, logistic centres and shopping malls.

Being one of the most centrally located highways in the city, the Marginal is bordered by some iconic buildings.

Billboard City officials in this metropolis of 11 million passed legislation banning billboards, neon signs and electronic panels as of the new year, and the effects of the law have begun to sink in. Billboards have been stripped of their commercial clothing, the stark nakedness of the abandoned frames reminding passers by of the once stolen public space now reclaimed.

Water Tower A water tower or elevated water tower is a large elevated water storage container constructed to hold a water supply at a height sufficient to pressurize a water distribution system. Many water towers were constructed during the Industrial Revolution; some are now considered architectural landmarks and monuments, and may not be demolished. Some are converted to apartments or exclusive penthouses.

Electric Towers A transmission tower is a tall structure, usually a steel lattice tower, used to support an overhead power line. They are used in high-voltage AC and DC systems, and come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Typical height ranges from 15 to 55 metres (49 to 180 ft), although heights in excess of 300 metres (980 ft) exist. Always very visiable along the street.

Graffiti on wall São Paulo - In the world’s third-largest city, there is no shortage of graffiti. From its colonial center to centers of international commerce; from the poorest favelas to the walls surrounding the graveyards that honor the ancestors of the metropolitan area’s 18 million inhabitants, it can seem as if nearly every surface is tagged with angular, prosaic, gang-related graffiti.

Pedestrian Bridge Cars are an important tool in the life of every paulistano. Some places can be reached only by car, and if you have to travel long distances in town, it is usually the most convenient means of transport. It is also part of the Sao Paulo’s own urban culture. To cross the large-scale infrastructure provided for the car, there are many pedestrian bridges in the city. They can have different forms, colors, sizes and features. Some are used with more frequency than others.

SÃO PAULO PATTERNS

The Streets of São Paulo

195

São Paulo patterns

São Paulo is composed by very sparse and continuous complex fabric. It is made up by interminable highways that cut through the landscape, thereby fragmenting it and transforming its neighborhoods into small islands, relatively separated from one another. Due to its vastness and the similarity of the urban fabric, the city is difficult to know. However, within this complexity of landscape, there is an underlying layer of repeating objects, object of perception. These objects form a reference, sometimes specifically related to a part of the city, like the large scale iconic buildings along Tietê river, or sometimes just related to the highway, an infinite amount of gas stations form recognizable elements along the way. But the awareness of these objects becomes blurred when trying to pinpoint their exact location within the context of the fabric. They seem just to repeat, without clearly being recognized in relation to the urban fabric.

One layer of objects are the flags, symbolic banners that represent the character of Brazil and form a layer of identity, belonging to the place.

These flags are spread throughout the landscape. Sometimes they can be recognized as the national flag, which seems to be the most predominant, or the state flag with its very contrasting colors, the flag of Corinthians or a rivaling soccer team, but other times they cannot be distinguished.

Recognizable colors, but composed in different ways.

The bridges, added to the city to reinforce the connection between the different islands, will constitute a new layer of perception. Distinct in their exact program and design, they will resemble in overall appearance.

Like the social housing, which is always slightly different in color and composition, but will mostly be remembered by their similarity. To have a strong visual impact, the bridges will be defined by colorful patterns, visible from a distance. Colors based on the flags of São Paulo and Brazil will refer to an identity, a belonging to the city.

Leaves behind the present: Look forward to the past!

Deixa atrás o presente: Olha o passado à frente!

Comes with Martim Afonso St. Vincent!

Climbing the Serra do Mar! In addition, overhead, Bartira dreams quietly In your networks of virgin plateaus.

It lurks in the foliage of emerald; Kisses the Cross Wreath of Stars!

Now, listen! Here it comes, grinding gravel, Boots-of-nine-leagues, João Ramalho.

Serra above the low of the wetlands, Come up the cassock De Nobrega and Anchieta.

Vem com Martim Afonso a São Vicente!

Galga a Serra do Mar! Além, lá no alto, Bartira sonha sossegadamente Na sua rede virgem do Planalto.

Espreita-a entre a folhagem de esmeralda; Beija-lhe a Cruz de Estrelas da grinalda!

Agora, escuta! Aí vem, moendo o cascalho, Botas-de-nove-léguas, João Ramalho.

Serra-acima, dos baixos da restinga, Vem subindo a roupeta De Nóbrega e de Anchieta.

Contemplate the fields of Piratininga!

This is the school. Ahead is the wilderness.

Go! Follows the entrance! Face it!

Go forward! Invest!

Contempla os Campos de Piratininga!

Este é o Colégio. Adiante está o sertão.

Vai! Segue a entrada! Enfrenta!

Avança! Investe!

North - South - East - West, In “flag” or “Monsoon” Tames the wild Indians.

Norte - Sul - Este - Oeste, Em “bandeira” ou “monção”, Doma os índios bravios.

Breaks through the jungle, open mines, rivers overthrow; In the bed of the reservoir Wake up the sleeping quarry; Twists of stiff arms And take the gold from their hiding places!

Rompe a selva, abre minas, vara rios; No leito da jazida Acorda a pedraria adormecida; Retorce os braços rijos E tira o ouro dos seus esconderijos!

Panning, flows denim, Mining, plant, people.

Then back to drizzle!

And guess through that curtain, In the evening decorated in beads, Sacred Hill At the Cry of Ipiranga! Half opens now the veils!

The coffee orchard, Lord of the Horizons You will see flow through plains, valleys, hills, Power stations, railway stations, silos, docks, skyscrapers!

Depois volta à garoa!

E adivinha através dessa cortina, Na tardinha enfeitada de miçanga, A sagrada Colina Ao Grito do Ipiranga!

Entreabre agora os véus!

Do cafezal, Senhor dos Horizontes, Verás fluir por plainos, vales, montes, Usinas, gares, silos, cais, arranha-céus!
