espaço
Developed with the aim of encouraging a process of micro-transformations in the residual spaces of São Paulo metropolis, espaço takes on the character of a real urban and social manifesto. Along with the colors, which provide identity and a strong visual impact, it intends to offer a concrete instrument for generating quality at a far-reaching level, from the favelas to the downtown areas: a system that is modular, flexible, transformable, economical and customizable, by means of which safe and equipped places for meeting, studying, playing and staying can be built.
Espaço is a three-dimensional platform, created from a basic module inspired by the Paulista icon that can be extruded at various heights, creating a variety of elements: flooring, benches, tubs for growing vegetables, spots equipped with electrical outlets or for book exchanges, sign totems. The effect is that of a public space enriched by functional areas, which can be freely dimensioned according to where it will be applied: the system can improve open spaces near infrastructures or in between buildings; it can enlarge pedestrian areas, find its way into the halls of collective buildings and universities or the grounds of school campuses.
