Lecture Rivers and Streets / Guajava and Expedition through the Audio Guide “Águas do Ibirapuera”

Rivers and Streets / Guajava Landscape Architecture

After an interactive lecture led by architects and urban planners José Bueno and Riciane Pombo, we will invite participants to a guided walk through the Park to understand the formation of Ibirapuera Lake by the Sapateiro River Basin with the support of the Audio Guide “Aguas do Ibirapuera” produced in partnership with the Museum of Modern Art in 2022.

Rios e Ruas was created in 2010 by architect and social urban planner José Bueno and geographer Luiz de Campos Jr. to transform the perception of millions of Brazilians regarding the difficult reality of rivers and streams confined alive beneath the urban fabric of cities. Its mission is to promote and inspire multiple initiatives to stimulate the discovery, recognition, and desire for clean and regenerated rivers in Brazilian cities.

More than just a socio-environmental education project, Rios e Ruas (Rivers and Streets) uniquely integrates art, science, and culture, having inspired and implemented hundreds of initiatives throughout its 15-year history. These initiatives have impacted thousands of people, whether through city expeditions, cultural and artistic exhibitions, publications, documentaries, inspiring lectures, or as the central theme of countless press articles.

Riciane Pombo is an architect and urban planner and founder of Guajava Arquitetura da Paisagem e Urbanismo. She specializes in architectural and environmental and urban planning projects, such as parks, squares, river restoration, and drainage systems for watersheds, applying green infrastructure principles and Nature-Based Solutions (NBS). She develops technical and educational materials on NBS, supporting the formulation of public policies on this topic at the national and international levels.

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.
