Lançamento do livro Habitação Coletiva: BR/NL - 14ᵃ Bienal Internacional de Arquitetura de São Paulo

Oca Pavilion | Bookstore | Basement

With professors: Leandro Medrano (FAU USP), Mariana Wilderom (FAU-USJT / Post-Doc FAUUSP) and Marcos L. Rosa (FAU UFRJ / Post-Doc FAUUSP), who co-edit the book together with Luiz Recamán (FAU USP), Dick van Gameren (BK TU-Delft), Nelson Mota (BK TU-Delft) and Harald Mooij (BK TU-Delft).

A result of a collaboration between FAU-USP and TU Delft, the book explores the intersections between unique housing experiences developed in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region and the Randstad between 1990 and 2010. Although the urban realities and critical and design traditions are notably distinct, the book addresses the pedagogical and disciplinary meanings of UA in light of contemporary urban challenges. We identify strategies and repertoires that challenge the commodification of housing and socio-environmental justice, reaffirming the project as a political-spatial marker. Through comparative approaches to the experience of everyday urban life, we suggest a critical understanding of habitat in relation to the act of inhabiting. This critique is supported by a graphic representation exercise that connects design strategies with appropriation tactics.

NOTE OF CONDOLENCE

With deep sorrow, the Brazilian Institute of Architects – São Paulo Department (IABsp) mourns the passing of architect and landscape architect Kongjian Yu, a global leader in ecological urbanism, and the members of his team who accompanied him, tragically killed during the filming of a documentary. The institute is honored to have had him as a participant in the 14th São Paulo International Architecture Biennial, where his transformative vision strengthened the dialogue between global challenges and local realities. IABsp emphasizes that Yu's contribution, which transcends borders, will remain an inspiration for generations and expresses its condolences to China, to the families of all the deceased, to his friends, and to all those impacted by his genius and dedication.
