DESCRIPTION
• Site measuring 75000 sq.ft on main thoroughfare in Sao Paulo.
• Instead of creating a freestanding building, the museum and the
landscape are treated as a whole.
• Use of concrete expressing brutalism.
• The great 97ft. Long and 39ft. Wide beam frames the museum
forming a loggia or porch.
• Museum’s differing ceiling heights create a stepped outdoor space
that is split by the entry fissure giving it a multi-functionality to
create outdoor seating for the plaza space.
