MSA+PMA Architecture entered this competition in collaboration with “MAS Urban Design ETH Zürich” – successful teamwork that revealed a First-Prize Winning Project for “Cabuço de Baixo 5”. The initiative of this cooperation began with a proposal from a cohort of postgraduates who were attending the Masters Program in Advanced Studies in Urban Design at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zürich).
Consisting in the regeneration of Sao Paulo, Brazil, the project embraces the possibility of Social Intervention and Responsibility in areas of precarious conditions. The essence was based on a complex perspective that jumps between different scales – Housing and Urban Planning.
