The Council of Architecture and Urbanism of Santa Catarina (CAU/SC) has announced the results of the design competition for the partial renovation of its headquarters. Acquired last year, the six-story building is located on Rio Branco Avenue in Florianópolis, and its main spaces—such as the atrium, reception, and facade—will be renovated according to the winning design.
The building was presented to the public on December 8, 2022. Since then, CAU/SC drafted the competition brief to ensure the project addressed the budget, the building's surroundings, and the urban context. “At the CAU headquarters, we want to welcome all architects and urban planners, connect with society, engage with the street, and practice our commitment to making the city more human,” highlighted the president of CAU/SC, Patrícia Sarquis Herden, at the competition's launch in August of this year.
By prioritizing a project selected through a competition, CAU/SC sought to highlight its desire for the Diva Building to become a benchmark for professionals in the state of Santa Catarina right from its conception. Discover the winning projects below:
