Tempo Arquitetos is a multidisciplinary architecture practice that seeks to constantly materialize the intangible into reality, based in São Paulo and led by architects Luiz Sakata (Bauru, 1995 – FAU-USP/FAUP-Porto) and Augusto Longarine (Jundiaí, 1995 – FAU-USP/Politecnico di Milano). Together, they have accumulated nationally and internationally awarded projects since 2020.
The new Boulevard São Judas Tadeu, built along a 106.5-meter linear stretch of Alameda dos Guaiós in São Paulo, Brazil, stems from the collective interest in rehabilitating strategic public spaces between the Sanctuary of São Judas and the Instituto Meninos de São Judas—important public-attraction facilities in the southern part of the city. Historically, this stretch of the Alameda served as a back façade for neighboring religious institutions, serving a strictly logistical purpose and being used intensively as a parking lot. Therefore, the focus of this area's rehabilitation was to connect the Sanctuary of São Judas Tadeu to the Chapel of São José, through the creation of pedestrian transition and permanence spaces, equipped with universal accessibility, new planted flowerbeds, and street furniture. The design of the new Boulevard is based on the manipulation of the original topography of Alameda dos Guaiós to create three programmatic plateaus – upper, intermediate and lower – with provision for grandstands, spaces for fairs, an esplanade for outdoor masses, rain gardens to restore the local microclimate, and the connection with the existing service gallery – store, café, restrooms – that connects Avenida Jabaquara to the new Boulevard.
