PREFACE

In Brazil, land use conflicts between environmentalists and the right-to-housing advocates reveal the challenges of conciliating two fundamental rights secured by the 1988 Brazilian Federal Constitution: the right to adequate housing and the right to a healthy environment. This joint architecture studio and urban planning capstone, introduced students to the legal and political mechanisms that ensure the protection of the environment, the unique aspects of informal settlements (land tenure insecurity, incomplete infrastructure and lack of urban services), and the informal settlers’ coping and adaptive strategies to environmental and social vulnerabilities.

This volume showcases the students’ semester research, onsite explorations and design proposals in Paraisópolis, a mature favela in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. During the semester, students engaged with grassroots organizations, academics and practitioners in São Paulo, a city that has a unique history of experiences related to informal housing located in ecologically sensitive areas and subject to environmental risks. Paraisópolis is an idiosyncratic case to illustrate these dynamics and the many challenges that informal settlements must undergo to access the status of a formal neighborhood in the city.

portraits taken during the March 2017 field trip offer an initial glimpse into Paraisópolis. The introduction provides a brief account of the history and ongoing urban transformations in this most dynamic district. The next section includes a reference to the workshop inFORMA with Escola da Cidade, where academics and practitioners lectured on recent urban policies and projects in informal areas. The workshop included a mapping exercise between students at Escola da Cidade and Taubman College, where they explored Paraisópolis and developed visual narratives addressing the themes presented in the workshop

The volume opens with a foreword by architect and urbanist Sol Camacho, our local partner in Paraisópolis, host and co-organizer of the workshop at Escola da Cidade. Her lines share her own experience in the community for the last few years, and offer an invitation for architects and urbanists to engage in meaningful work in partnership with communities of need. A series of residents’

The following sections in the volume focus on the students´ research designs in two regions where residents remain exposed to environmental risks due to flooding, landslides and fires: the Antonico Creek and Grotão. The proposed interventions address the needs of better housing and public facilities, and the opportunities for transformative infrastructural and open space interventions.

INTRODUCTION

FOREWORD

THE INFORMAL IS THE CITY Sol Camacho, principal at RADDAR

Our journey with the community of Paraisópolis started in 2014, through a formal commission to design a local chain store in the heart of the neighborhood. Paraisópolis holds a very special place in the urban imaginary of informality in the city of São Paulo. This wellestablished and centrally located favela is home to some 80,000 to 100,0002 residents, includes countless businesses and fosters a rich cultural life. At the time, I saw this as the perfect opportunity to explore the mechanisms to provide neighborhood services in an informal area. Through a very special partnership with a real-estate investor, we designed a process to provide a socially impactful urban hub by adding very much needed cultural and educational programming with additional open space to articulate all of the uses to the original commercial program. The project, PIPA (Projeto 01 [previous pages] Workshop at PIPA 02 [opposite] RADDAR office at PIPA

de Integração de Paraisópolis), meaning kite in Portuguese, became a platform to engage the larger community in conversation and shape a project that aims to become a center for social life in the neighborhood. The project is programmatically ambitious and has an innovative scheme of development to sustain the mix of programs over time. As such, it challenges current regulatory structures and requires additional negotiations in an already heavily contested ground. As PIPA was being shaped with community input to respond to urgent needs for cultural spaces, the project became much more interesting and complex, both architecturally and urbanistically. At the same time, it also become illegal in the already informal grounds of Paraisópolis. PIPA’s programming is not possible under the current zoning law, ZEIS 1, that governs the area. The ZEIS, Zones of Special Social Interests, are legal provisions to protect informal settlements from the pressures of “market” development and potential displacement of the current inhabitants. To do so, the regulations only allow 2 affordable housing or shops up to 1000m . Thus, with the current parcel configuration the project could hold nine side by side shops, up to the 2 1000m , but not a richer configuration with less commercial and the inclusion of cultural and social programs. Architects, urbanists and designers hired by private investors to ‘infiltrate’ the favela is not a regular practice. Instead, a long tradition of government entities and NGO’s represent the only possible agents to work with and

FOREWORD

Informality is a normal condition in São Paulo, a city of 11.5 million inhabitants with more than 890,000 households in slum areas1. These informal settlements have strong physical characteristics recognizable from afar: dense areas with tight, small constructions made of brick, wood and other local materials that spread over the rugged Paulista topography. While the grain of the informal is easy to recognize, the complexity of the urban processes at play in these areas merits careful observation. As a local practicing architect and urban designer, I feel a strong responsibility to understand the nature of informal areas and actively participate in their integration as urban neighborhoods with equal services and rights to the city for their residents.

During this time, PIPA has already become a place to exchange ideas, host events and continue to imagine possible futures for Paraisópolis. We continue to study the context, history, complex legal, political, social and cultural layers by working closely with local and international universities, the community and other urban agents. We are invested in making PIPA an innovative project with all of the qualities that we collectively envision. As informality remains one of the most pressing issues to tackle in a rapidly urbanizing world, architects and urban designers must devise novel regulatory frameworks to remain relevant agents of change while protecting the public good. That is why working with today’s students is key to our initiatives at PIPA. This new generation of architects and urbanists will be responsible for making the world cities’ more just places in the future and it is important that they get out of the classroom to engage in experiential learning opportunities today. 03 [opposite] Location of PIPA and adjacent amenities

INFORMA has been a very special interinstitutional initiative with PIPA. The partnership has involved students at Escola da Cidade and the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. We hosted a workshop that brought some of the most important architects and urbanists engaged in the transformation of Paraisópolis in the last decades in conversation with the students. We learned together what has been achieved and the challenges ahead, explored and documented the neighborhood, and engaged in the formulation of ideas for the most impoverished areas in the community. The fresh eyes of the students have energized us: they raised relevant questions and framed new possibilities for professional focus on how publicprivate partnerships could be a possibility for innovative urban transformation. By challenging what is possible and representing novel ideas they open new doors for design to be a driver of positive change. I am delighted with the many outcomes of this initiative, and the prospects to continue our collaboration with the University of Michigan. It has been a real pleasure to host Taubman College faculty and students, and we hope to continue to nurture the partnership in the future. ------------------1 São Paulo Case Study Overview Climate Change, Disaster Risk and The Urban Poor: Cities Building Resilience for a Changing World, at: http:// siteresources.worldbank.org/INTURBANDEVELOPMENT/ Resources/336387-1306291319853/ CS_Sao_Paulo.pdf 2 Data IBGE indicates 60,000 inhabitants, but there is” consensus” amongst professionals that the number is under calculated.

positively impact the less privileged. By leaving out potential partnerships with private owners and investors, the opportunities for projects that could help upgrade these very segregated places of the city are far less probable. In our case, we did not abandon the possibility of making PIPA a reality and continue to work with the community to this end. We believe it’s worth fostering the conversation about innovative models of development that could better reach traditionally underserved residents and challenge the formation of enclaves of multigenerational poverty, while engaging academia, the profession and the public administrations.

Paraisópolis is a city within a city, with complex and controversial urban conditions. Its extreme density and lack of spatial and infrastructure planning has resulted in poor living conditions on sites of environmental risk with few local social services or amenities. While 65% of the population of Paraisópolis considered themselves to be middle class, there are areas that have urgent needs for intervention to insure the access to health and education, security, and safety of residents. Some upgrade projects have occurred in recent years and received much publicity. Projects include interventions in the risk areas at Grotinho, channelizing the Brejo Creek to prevent localized flooding, and building extensive public housing to relocate many of the residents in the areas of intervention. Poor sanitation, flooding, and fires are still risks along with a great need for more social and education services. The urban fabric of Paraisópolis is extremely dense and new families

come every day looking for any piece of land to occupy in this centrally located neighborhood. This leaves little public open land available to build medical, educational, and social facilities that the community needs. Most of the streets are lined with small commercial shops that occupy the first floor, leaving upper levels for residential use and a thriving rental market. These small commercial ventures turn the streets into vibrant public spaces, an indicator of the healthy local economy. While these homes are of durable materials, pockets of difficult access and precarious housing still exist in areas where high environmental risk and social vulnerability occur. These areas are often subject to floods with contaminated water, fires, and landslides on steep slopes. Risk areas that have been cleared either by eviction or disaster are often reoccupied by the same families because of the lack of options due to the extreme housing crisis. This confluence poses an opportunity for designers to intervene with projects that address this community’s needs.

A BRIEF ACCOUNT

The area know as Paraisópolis was first parcelled out in the1920s by the União Mútua Companhia Construtora e Crédito Popular SA. The initial urbanization pattern established some 2,200 lots in 100 meters by 200 meters urban blocks and 10 meterwide streets. The difficulties to urbanize the area due to the steep topography resulted in the abandonment by the owners and the progressive

occupation by squatters in the 1950s. With the creation of the Morumbi neighborhood and the opening of Avenue Giovanni Gronchi on the west side of the Pinheiros River in the 1960s, Paraisópolis became a very desirable area. The Zoning Regulations of 1972 defined the area as single-family residential, neglecting the existing uses already in place at the time. As the population continued to increase in the following years, the conditions of illegality became the norm. With the 1988 Federal Constitution and the 2001 Statute of the City, a series of very progressive regulations are put in place to ensure all citizens’ right to the city and decent housing. Central to these changes in the establishment of the social function of property and the promotion of a just city through urban development. Before the 2001 City Statue, Paraisópolis did not justify public investments from the Municipality given that 99% of its area was privately owned.

INTRODUCTION TO PARAISÓPOLIS

Paraisópolis is located in the Vila Andrade district, part of the Campo Limpo submunicipality, in the São Paulo South Zone. Paraisópolis is divided in seven different areas: Jardim Colombo, Porto Seguro, Antonico, Centro, Brejo, Grotinho and Grotão. Antonico, Centro and Brejo have lower slopes, although they can reach 30% in some points. Grotinho and Grotão contain some of the most intense slopes, well over 30% in some areas, with wooden shacks and exposed to higher occurrence of fires. Porto Seguro and Jardim Colombo also have steep slopes and are densely occupied.

The Strategic Master Plan (PDE) 2002-2012 defined the site as ZEIS 1, condition maintained in the PDE 2014 (São Paulo’s Master Plan, Law 16.050/14) that characterizes Paraisópolis as an ”area with presence of irregular favelas and squatter settlements, predominantly inhabited by low income population.” Starting in 2005, the Municipality of São Paulo started one of Brazil’s largest slum upgrading programs. In the words of Elisabete França, former São Paulo’s deputy secretary of public housing, the main purpose of slum upgrading is “to overcome shortages of infrastructure, accessibility, and availability of social facilities and public services, as well as the provision of new suitable housing for families whose homes are affected by the public works.” Part of this initiative, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development received the mandate to develop a Plan of Urbanization to “make Paraisópolis part of the formal city” through land regularization, widespread access to infrastructure, increased accessibility and providing more and better housing. The program was attentive to existing community ties by keeping the majority of the residents in their locales. It also focused on the “qualification” of public space to promote the physical integration of the community with the neighboring areas.

The program channelled the Brejo stream and alleviated recurrent flooding in the shacks built along it, and initiated a major slope stabilization project in the Grotão area. Most of these infrastructural interventions required the displacement of families that were resettled in different condominiums along the Avenue Hebe Camargo. In addition to these, the program developed community, educational (creche) and health centers (Center for Psychosocial Care, CAPS, Ambulatory Medical Assistance, AMA, and a Basic Health Unit, UBS), and recreational areas. The funds came from SEHAB, PAC / CEF, SABESP (Basic Sanitation Company of the State of São Paulo), CDHU (Housing and Urban Development Company), PMSP (Military Police of the State of São Paulo) and the State Government of São Paulo. The plan developed a total of 11 condominiums: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H in Paraisópolis, condominiums A and B in Jardim Colombo and Condominium II in Grotinho sector, totalling 1,229 housing units in the Complex and finished in 2013. Condos A, B, C, E, F and G are linear blocks, connecting each other through catwalks, having 4 upper floors above, an intermediate floor acting as ground floor and of 1 to 4 floors below, avoiding the use of elevators. In condominium D there are commercial uses in the lower level

INTRODUCTION TO PARAISÓPOLIS

The Federal Constitution protects individual’s dwelling (Article 5, Item XI) and regards habitation as one of the individual’s basic needs (Article 7, Item IV ), as are the right to education and health care. The Constitution also recognizes the competence of the Union, State, and Municipal governments to implementing housing policies and programs (Article 23, Item IX). São Paulo’s housing policy complies with the city’s 2002 Strategic Master Plan (PDE; Law 13.430, Article 79) that ratifies the Federal Constitution and recognizes the right to suitable housing as a social right.

CASE STUDY [PRESENTED IN THE WORKSHOP]: PLAN OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT FOR PARAISÓPOLIS, 2010-2025 SECRETARY OF HOUSING, SÃO PAULO MUNICIPALITY, 2009 Led by Anália Amorim, Rubén Otero, and Ciro Pirondi

The work around water looks at recreation and educational opportunities, and involves the regeneration of the existing water bodies through waste management measures and sewage upgrades to avoid illegal discharges. Regarding mobility, the project incorporates different strategies. On one side, as series of elevators in strategic points create new centralities with additional services and facilities in areas of steep topography. A bike system and additional parking options, including four perimeter garages, aim to reduce on-street parking. Regarding housing, the project focuses on improving the conditions for upgrades in self-built structures. Given the scarcity of open spaces, a central priority in the project is to open small plazas in the interior of the urban blocks, adding new constructions in their perimeter. All the interventions are phased in three stages. The first stage, already finished, included punctual urban interventions to recover risk areas, the implementation of infrastructures, and the construction of 56 dwellings. The second stage involved the regularization of titles in illegal constructions, the channelization of the water bodies, the construction of sewage and educational facilities, and the addition of 250 dwellings.

The Municipality invited recognized design firms to carry many of the key projects in the area. Some of the projects firm include: MMBB for the Antonico Creek; Marcos Boldarini for the construction of small clusters of commercial, residential and open space; Urban Think Tank for the park with urban facilities; Christian Kerez, for a central residential complex; and Elemental and Amorim, Pirondi and Otero, for perimeter housing.

The Paraisópolis Project was part of the ambitious Program of Urbanization of Favelas in the Municipality of São Paulo in 2009. The project aimed to improve the socio environmental conditions of residents living in areas of high risk. The plan focuses on the provision of housing, infrastructure, urban facilities and public space, with the goal of transforming Paraisópolis into a neighborhood of São Paulo. The proposal overlays a structuring system on top of the existing urban tissue, addressing topography, hydrology and urban morphology, and defining three lineswater, mobility and housing.

CASE STUDY [PRESENTED IN THE WORKSHOP]: ANTONICO PROJECT, UNBUILT REURBANIZATION OF THE ANTONICO CREEK VALLEY, 2009-2014 Led by MMBB (F. de Mello Franco, M. J. Figueiredo, M. Moreira, M. Braga) In 2007, MMBB Architects in SĂŁo Paulo, was awarded the best entry in the Biennale in Rotterdam for their Watery Voids proposal addressing the Antonico Creek Valley.

The design of the canal, not only is the production of a technical artefact to solve the environmental problem of flood control, but also leaves open to innumerable possibilities of re-signification to promote the construction of the public domain. Overall, the project transformed the entire length of the creek inside of ParaisĂłpolis by removing all of the at-risk housing, providing proper sewage, and carving out an open space void along the length creek. It provided domestic and commercial additions to the existing homes to remain along with a large open plaza and water interaction points. It required the whole project to be completed at once before a change in political parties. However, the multiple layers of funding never fell into place and the project has since lost momentum for implementation.

Their proposal results from the articulation between two strategies of projective investigation. The first deals with the redefinition of the urban infrastructure paradigm. The second operates in the construction of forms of popular imagery acting on the use of space. By distinguishing and reprogramming the flow, the stream will be configured in one of the main local structures, enhanced by use dynamics and compatible with the density of urban fabric.

Project Components: Each project component addresses several of the five key points and serves as a transferable prototype.

Ethical Standards and Social Equity The project expands the definition of sustainability beyond ecological terms into the area of social sustainability. Improvement of this and other marginalized zones depends on the provision of basic services, equal resource distribution, and adequate social infrastructure and programs where they all have been conventionally ignored. The terraces provide necessary public space in the overly dense fabric in the form of a dynamic and productive zone available to all residents. They provide a framework to integrate previously fragmented areas with new social infrastructure and diverse programs to strengthen collective identity and ensure positive growth for the future. The design process is built on community participation in both the initial design phase and in the end use of the space. Considering the sensitivity of the work and the importance of the community, specialized field offices are set up by local government to assist residents during neighborhood improvement processes.

Environmental Quality and Resource Efficiency The project utilizes site orientation to provide a combination of both passive and active systems for maximum efficiency and low cost. The building and landscape work as one comprehensive system that can effectively handle the varying conditions of the wet/dry season cycle. Prevailing winds in combination with an in-floor cooling system provide efficient tempering; the waste heat is stored in the terraces (as a large heat sink) during the day and emitted through hybrid-PV panels at night. Excess heat is vented through a solar and wind supported chimney. Water is reused on site; what was once a danger is now a resource. Wetlands filter the water through the site, which can be used for irrigation (in urban agriculture) and gray-water applications or be filtered through rapid sand filtration. An on-site water tank distributes excess water to the sewage system during wet season and stores it for later use during dry season. Building materials and operability maximize light and minimize solar gain.

Public Ramp System

Urban Agriculture

The new terrace system combines necessary physical infrastructure with social infrastructure, providing space for flexible and adaptable program. The terraces also make important connections to the surrounding neighborhood via existing pathways that have been disconnected. A minimum of construction is used for maximum output concerning the practical needs of safety (erosion, stormwater runoff, etc) and the desires of public space and social infrastructure.

The ramp system that moves through the site is open to the public and also handicap accessible from top to bottom. This allows the public access throughout the site and building. This new ramp is a new public circulation system in an area known for challenging and dangerous topography. The ramp system also ties together and makes accessible all of the different areas and uses within the project.

The urban agriculture helps transform the space from an empty void to a productive space within Paraisópolis. Not only does the urban agriculture provide food production on the small scale, but it also provides the community with the knowledge of this production and ability to implement this system elsewhere.

Project Components: Each project component addresses several of the five key points and serves as a transferable prototype.

Ethical Standards and Social Equity

Contextual and Aesthetic Impact The site is fundamentally transformed from an inaccessible highrisk zone into a desirable and productive space. In order to handle the challenging topography, new section profiles were necessary to retain the hill and stop further erosion/damage. This practical infrastructural solution was embedded with important social infrastructure and re-establishes connections to the existing but fragmented neighborhood context. It is a dynamic node of public space with both fixed and flexible program.

The project expands the definition of sustainability beyond ecological terms into the area of social sustainability. Improvement of this and other marginalized zones depends on the provision of basic services, equal resource distribution, and adequate social infrastructure and programs where they all have been conventionally ignored. The terraces provide necessary public space in the overly dense fabric in the form of a dynamic and productive zone available to all residents. They provide a framework to integrate previously fragmented areas with new social infrastructure and diverse programs to strengthen collective identity and ensure positive growth for the future. The design process is built on community participation in both the initial design phase and in the end use of the space. Considering the sensitivity of the work and the importance of the community, specialized field offices are set up by local government to assist residents during neighborhood improvement processes.

Economic Performance and Compatibility This urban intervention fits into a larger network of slum upgrading projects financed by the city. However, it is a new typology and conceptual framework that re-defines what can be done within this budget; it is a new prototype for building in these areas. The program of the project is flexible and able to adapt to changes based on need (daily, seasonal, etc.). The project serves as a new hub of various activities, and its introduction into the site not only provides immediate forms of exchange (music, agriculture, social, knowledge, etc.), but also serves as a catalyst that encourages new uses in the surrounding areas. The urban agriculture encourages a new micro-economy in an otherwise unusable space, and replaces the dangerous void with an active and productive zone that feeds directly back into the neighborhood and into the city.

Wetlands The wetland system provides a passive filtration system for water re-use on-site. The water can be re-used for gray water applications and irrigation for the urban agriculture. The wetlands provide a catalyst to transform water, once seen as a destructive force, into productive element.

In São Paulo there is a long history of concrete construction. Using concrete for the building utilizes this existing knowledge but incorporates low-tech applications that greatly improve performance at low cost.

This comprehensive system of social infrastructure, public space, active and passive building technologies, and productivity is a conceptual framework that can be utilized to address other high risk zones and similarly challenging spaces, both within Sao Paulo and globally. It is a prototype and adaptable framework that encourages flexibility and a critical re-thinking of new design approaches and processes in these spaces. It is a new urban model and strategy that combines disciplines and creates a platform for communication between top-down planning and bottom-up initiatives.

The combination of active and passive systems exceeds the expectations set forth in recent guidelines for environmental sustainability proposed by the city of São Paulo, and ensures that the building operates at a very high level while maintaining a low cost. Transferability occurs in two directions and in several different areas. The concrete construction introduces new low-tech, low-cost techniques while simultaneously utilizing existing knowledge of concrete construction. Members of the community can participate in the construction of the building by making the concrete blocks that form the facade and can also utilize these techniques for their homes or other areas of the neighborhood. The school itself provides education and music as a cultural export. Music has become an incredibly important activity and institution not only in São Paulo but all over South America, and the building provides the necessary space for musical education. The urban agriculture provides both a tangible product that generates the possibility for new microeconomies as well as a knowledge of small-scale production that can proliferate throughout the neighborhood.

Grotão, Paraisópolis

Paraisópolis is an area that began to develop in the 1920s around a challenging topography of rivers. For this reason, regular streets and infrastructure were not implemted. In the 1960s the neighboring area of Morumbi began to develop, and the construction labor force began to informally occupy the area. Before this urbanization the area was mainly agricultural. In the 1970s a new zoning law discouraged legal development on the site (due to prohibitive lot sizes), and as a result there was a boom of invasion in Paraisópolis. Despite its central urban location, the marginalized area of Grotão within Paraisópolis is effectively separated from the formal city. Within this isolated zone, increased erosion and dangerous mudslides have designated the site

connected to all boundaries of the area by the landscape of activated terraces.

The lower zone of the site contains the Fábrica da Música, which stacks diverse programs to maximize site potential. These include public transportation, sports facilities, and the music school, which contains practice and rehearsal spaces, studios, a performance hall, and auxiliary classrooms. This is a vital catalyst in the area, expanding music and cultural programs into the favela while forming a new network that serves the youth from all levels of society. The upper zone contains new replacement housing for those displaced from high-risk zones. Commercial spaces are introduced on the first level as an economic vehicle that activates the street level and stimulates the micro-

ANTONICO

CREEK ABOVE GROUND CREEK BELOW GROUND

ANTONICO CREEK The Antonico creek is a tributary of the Pinheiros River that runs northwards through Paraisรณpolis cutting along the orthogonal urban grid. Approximately 36,000 people live along the corridor in both risk and non-risk areas. Locally, the area directly adjacent along the creek is undesirable as the water is severely polluted and the area is considered a last resort for families to get shelter.

01 [opposite] Aerial photo of Paraisรณpolis noting the path of the Antonico Creek

There has been no municipal infrastructural investment along the bottom of the valley resulting in illegal sewage discharges into the creek and flooding during heavy rains. By volume, the majority of the water in the creek is household sewage. The valley bottom frequently floods during heavy rains, and it lacks storm water infrastructure. The contaminated water blocks streets and floods homes. It is a severe health hazard to those families directly along or over the creek. Incremental housing

along the creek has effectively channelized it without proper assessment or engineering exacerbating the risks to structures and inhabitants. Currently, the houses are typically brick but in a few areas precarious wooden shelters occupy the land directly next to and over the creek. In 2012, two different areas of dense wooden shelters burned due to accidental fires leaving open inner block voids that have turned into dumping sites. Like most of the creek, these voids are hidden among the maze of housing making awareness a challenge. There is little environmental and health education along the corridor about the causes and effects of flooding and sewage discharge. While community education is critical, extensive public infrastructure needs to be installed to mitigate dumping and sewage discharges.

REDISCOVERY OF WATER

A COMMUNITY AROUND WATER IN ANTONICO CORRIDOR

01 [opposite] Model of the Tower and additional project components

I propose to do this in two phases. The first phase is to make the water visible so residents are aware of the condition of the creek. Then, I propose to add infrastructure including biological wetlands, nets to trap trash and to repair sewage pipes to mitigate the pollution of the creek. The second phase is to add infrastructure combined with public space along the creek. Through a series water based public activities, residents will gain a different attitude towards water while strengthening thier community

through culture. The goal is for the whole community to work collectively to make creek and surrounding area a more healthy, cultural and sustainable living space. In this way could we rediscover water. The design was developed through a study of the typologies of water infrastructure and territories of water to create components in a localized network. By placing these components and optimizing them according to the existing topographical and urban contexts, the water network will provide the community an opportunity to increase the natural and cultural environments. The environment is also an important concern that is part of the much larger issue of how to make it an ideal community for residents to live a happy life. By encouraging people to celebrate water by creating a series of public spaces centering around water, the final goal is to imagine a healthy, cultural and sustainable community.

REDISCOVERY OF WATER

Rediscovery of Water is a cultural infrastructure project for a long-term vision along the creek to improve the public perception and education about the creek. Through two phases the natural and cultural environment is improved through this infrastructural intervention.

Antonico Creek is the main creek crossing ParaisĂłpolis and presents a variety of environmental problems. Abandoned space in the center of blocks is where there is trash dumping and sewage discharges from exposed pipes. The lack of education is a barrier for residents to treat the creek with respect and the lack of funding makes it an impossible problem to be solved in the short term. Of all of the issues that need to be solved, the most important is changing peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attitude towards water.

DESIGN STRATEGY AND PHASES PHASE 1 THE TOWER - AWARENESS OF WATER For most part, the Antonico Creek is actually invisible. People pour sewage directly to the creek, dump waste and construct above or along the creek. So the first step to regenerate the corridor should be â&#x20AC;&#x153;To make the water visibleâ&#x20AC;?.

68 07 Sectional relationship among components

The Tower is a quick way to announce the existence of the creek, a landmark, an information conveyor, an independent infrastructural system and viewing deck to raise awareness around the need to address behavior change towards pollution.

PHASE 2 THE CREEK - CELEBRATION OF WATER When more and more people are aware of the creek pollution and change their dumping/ pouring behavior, a system of infrastructure could be plugged in the void space of the creek corridor area. These infrastructures also

play an important role to provide places for public activities so that the whole community can come together for the celebration of water.

STEWARDING WATER IN THE PARADISE CITY

Stewarding Water in the Paradise City proposes an alternative strategy to MMBBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of smaller projects to incrementally upgrade the corridor. Each project can build on the momentum of the last and attract continued invest to improve the conditions along the creek. While the project borrows the domestic addition scheme, it adapts it to an inner block condition.

01 [opposite] Claiming the inside of the block through articulated ground and social service buildings

Stewarding Water in the Paradise City is designed to spur investment along the Antonico Creek corridor by framing a positive relationship between the residents of ParaisĂłpolis and water. The site was selected as a key location to occupy for public use. In 2012, a fire destroyed an occupation of precarious wooden shelters and currently the land is at risk of reoccupation recreating the same fire risk. The hidden inner block site is currently used as a community dumping site and poses an extreme health risk. This investment is proposed in a single phase to achieve the full vision of the project in an unstable political environment. This project will hopefully spur following development along the creek. Block by block the living conditions and water quality can be incrementally upgraded by varying actors as an alternative strategy to addressing the entire corridor with one project. Urbanistically, the site needs to be better integrated into the surrounding fabric and the inner block needs to become visible on the street and

accessible to pedestrians. The major health risk the location inherits and exacerbates for the localized residents and those downstream needs to be incrementally mitigated through sanitation, education, and stewardship. To integrate the site back within the urban fabric, the street grid is corrected at the intersection and new storm water infrastructure prevents flooding to allow reliable passage. The center of the block reaches out the surrounding street fronts to claim a presence within the community. Circulation arteries through the site invites regular pedestrian traffic to and through the programming to bring awareness to the project and public support of its maintenance. Social service functions is the best programming to occupy the site and act as a steward to the creek. It addresses urgent social service, social housing, and open space needs making the site a community anchor based on protecting the water quality. An affordable housing component brings middle class families to the creek bottom to

STEWARDING WATER IN THE PARADISE CITY

BUILDING NEW GROUNDS FOR THE ANTONICO CREEK

economically integrate the corridor. Cleaning the creek as it enters the site to address health risks is essential to allow the project to be developed. An underground water cleaning facility will improve the quality of the water and the clean water will run north as a spine linking the series of programs together as they engage the creek. Moments of interaction, demonstration, education, and celebration are curated to provide opportunities for an improved relationship with water. The demonstration and educational components emphasize the fiction of the cleaned creek as a mechanically and chemically supported process. The central axis of the creek is framed to create an interior landscape that is focused on water stewardship. Inside of the block, two typologies are adopted to address the currently irregular housing to remain. First, a social services building kinks around the existing void while leaving an alley to 02 [below] Existing site condition hidden inside of the block

access the homes. The second typology builds a structural scaffolding adjacent to the remaining homes to invite houses to face inward while providing opportunities for upgrading and commercial space. Larger social services and affordable housing bridge the creek through the center of the site. Building typologies test how interventions can respond to the dense urban scale and irregularity of current urban voids. Families will be rehoused on-site in social housing that proposes an alternative to the intense density and low quality of existing social housing projects. It uses the grain of a single housing unit to compose a larger form that is porous to allow light, air, and views through the mass with commercial on the first story lining the street. In contrast to the monolithic social housing typology, the design cultivates individual registration and character of each unit.

CLEANING Developing the project is dependant on cleaning the water in the creek to decontaminate it. Currently, it poses a sever health risks to the community. The creek water will be channelled underground before it enters the site to pass through a series of chambers to render it safe to interact with.

INTERACTION The channel that holds the creek is broken by a series of wide steps to create a moment where people can interact directly with the water. It invites people to sit and relax next to the water to begin to reimagine the relationship between the community and creek. The artificial creek bed widens to make room for green plants to provide an educational and demonstration green infrastructure intervention. This point is key to break down psychological barriers between the residents and the currently unsanitary water.

Interaction

Education Providing environmental education surrounding water and pollution is central to change the future of the Antonico Creek corridor. Before the social housing, the creek is piped underground to provide space to re-house all of the removed residents. Informational signage and boards provide direct information while changes in the pavement register the creekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path underground. This brings the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awareness to underground infrastructure and the existence of piped water ways.

Celebration Creek water is brought back to the surface at the intersection to celebrate itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence and claim public open space. The small pool of water is playfully designed as a gathering moment for all ages. A cafe placed next to the water brings a commercial use that is invested in maintaining the plaza as clean, public, open space. This moment is designed to draw residents because it is a release from the intense density of the city.

GROTÂO

GROTÃO

01 [opposite] Google Earth image outlining Grotão

Grotão is one of the areas with the highest concentrations of vulnerable populations in Paraisópolis and multiple environmental risk factors. It is categorized as a HighRisk zone due to unstable soils from increased erosion and steep slopes combined with inadequate storm water drainage systems. This land is deemed unfit to build upon but due to the increased demand for housing, most of it is currently occupied. Therefore, Grotão is in need of innovative and imaginative solutions. The poor topographical conditions are intensified by Brazil’s wet season. Harsh rains during the 6-month wet season transform the bottom of this site into a water basin. Without a storm water drainage system, the water sits stagnant creating unliveable conditions and health concerns. In addition, accidental but devastating fires are frequent. After fires, most families try to re-occupy the sites of their former homes because other housing options are unavailable. The lack of municipal resources to addresses these conditions leads to an endless cycle

of occupation, disaster, and re-occupation of the most vulnerable populations. Due to rapid urbanization and challenging topography, Grotão does not have a robust network of social support and community spaces to serve the population. The Culture Shed is unutilized due to lack of funding for management, a few small commercial spaces exist, and there is no public open space. However, there is a strong cultural dynamic that fuels daily lives in the favela but the energy is lacking in Grotão due to the social vulnerability and poor living conditions. Another consequence of the informality is the lack of spatial planning. There are no formal lot lines or a planned road system within Grotão. All of the build-able land has been covered by housing resulting in minimal circulation space. The winding streets and alleys are the only public moments within this district. A steep portion of land in the back of the bowl and undeveloped land on the west side of the mouth of the bowl are currently in the cycle of re-occupation after disasters.

EXPERIMENTAL EMERGENCY HOUSING

01 [opposite] Model of one of the housing trees

The proposed 2016 updates to São Paulo’s municipal housing plan aim to replace the rental voucher system over the course of the next 16 years through the gradual construction of temporary housing. Our project offers a new model for the temporary relocation of the affected residents. Rather than

seeing the solution to fire and flooding as a cluster of provisional shelters, we characterize our project as mixed-use housing with generous collective amenities combined with social services, open spaces and infrastructure to meet the basic needs of residents’ living. When there are no emergencies to cover, the flexible framework provides alternative spaces for gathering, social programs, festivals and other activities. The architectural proposal is conceived as critical infrastructure in Grotão. Located in the topographic low, this linear housing project introduces sewage and drainage infrastructure to minimize flooding, increase vehicular access, and supply water and electricity to the precarious houses in the surrounding slopes. The aqueduct and housing are lifted to ensure the site will also function during emergencies. In the long term, this multi-functional housing project with public space and community services help to create a safer, resilient and cohesive Paraisópolis.

EXPERIMENTAL EMERGENCY HOUSING

Environmental emergencies are one of the major issues in the Grotão. Flooding, landslides, and devastating fires are frequent and take with them the modest shelters that populate the steep slopes. The endless cycle of construction, destruction and reconstruction happens at a high cost, impacting people’s quality of life and making evident the lack of municipal resources to address the problem. Today, the City of São Paulo’s social rental voucher system provides money for families to rent in the private market following an emergency. However, this is a temporal, inadequate fix into the much larger issue of environmental emergencies and the housing deficit. Furthermore, the voucher system has inflated the informal rental market in Paraisópolis and the rest of São Paulo.

RE_DWELLING

Re_Dwelling incorporates the positive aspects of the different typologies of housing in the neighborhood. It challenges the enclave condition generated by current social housing, where the developments function as fenced islands that fail to dialogue with their surroundings. Instead, the proposal learns from the informal fabric that has better connectivity and social life, and more flexibility overall.

01 [left page] Perspective view of the Project

The proposal promotes vertical densification to seed breathing spaces on the ground like the social housing blocks. It also aims to mix incomes and provide ground level commercial spaces like the traditional favela buildings. This challenges the current ZEIS 1 regulations because it promotes mixed uses and incomes instead of a dedicated housing strategy. The site is on the a steep slope, adjacent to the social housing blocks. In the project, social housing units are closer to the ground and the affordable housing units are on the upper levels. Sky walks connect the three buildings and a roof terrace provides secure community space. Access to the air and light are critical in the design of the blocks to provide the best living conditions for all the residents.

RE_DWELLING

Re_Dwelling proposes alternative models of mixedincome housing in GrotĂŁo. In the last few years it is the area which has seen the largest transformation due to the many social housing blocks and a land stabilization project. By mixing social housing, affordable units, commercial spaces and parking, this proposal challenges the current ZEIS 1 regulations that prevent a more balanced mix of uses.

06 Site Analysis

The proposal learns from the existing conditions: block morphology, climatology, adjacencies, contour levels and slopes, and housing types. Some additional parameters considered include vehicular circulation, parking, pedestrian by pass and vegetation. Hence Re_Dwelling proposes bypass streets, pedestrian short-cuts , parking spaces and an urban landscape intervention to enliven open spaces.

126

The design of the housing elements is inspired from the existing urban fabric and retains the informal morphology and identity of the neighborhood. The generated blocks are aligned to the existing contour line acting as a metaphor to the site topography. Re_Dwelling integrates social and affordable housing to have a diverse community and to bring in

capital from outside Paraisรณpolis. Working with the steep topography on the site, the project accommodates economic uses in lower grounds, and a mix of housing types to serve diverse familiar structures. In terms of site strategy, the project weaves the east and west axis by providing shortcuts and pathways to the surrounding housing, reducing walking distance and changing the pedestrian circulation type from hike to walk. The project also reduces the parking onus on streets by providing parking spaces for the residents. Regarding vehicular circulation, the proposal incorporates a new bypass to increase porosity and access. The project also introduces vegetation strategies and urban landscape elements.

The process of the generation of the volumetric pattern plays with a system of blocks, and extrude and expand them inspired in the existing informal urban fabric. To respond to the steep topography, the building aligns the set of blocks to the existing contour lines to form a series of stacked structures. This strategy plays on the design of the courtyard or the common space between the towers.

CULTURE AT RISK

While the provision of housing and basic infrastructure are critical, this proposal explores the importance of addressing the access to culture and public space in the pursuit of a more diverse and just city. It examines opportunities to seed change in the areas where the most vulnerable populations live. The underlying belief that access to culture and social programs can have a larger impact to transform lives in areas that have the greatest vulnerability. 01 -06 [opposite] The rich art and culture manifestations in the district are a critical part in the expression of diverse local identities.

The project is sandwiched in between the two housing projects that my colleagues propose on land that was vacated

a few years ago because it was designated Very High Risk. The intervention curates this heavily infrastructurized landscape through the insertion of a promenade that displays a series of cultural, social and recreational programs and activities. A ramp ensures the connection between the higher and lower grounds and gives access to the facilities holding permanent and temporary programs. Some of the forms are pushed into the terrain and others float over it. This culturally inhabited landscape becomes a new hub in Grot찾o to celebrate local identities and ensure access to public programs. As cities are breeding grounds to the formulation of new cultural identities, my project turns attention to the production of new public grounds for Grot찾o. Just as important as the provision of housing and basic infrastructure, my project contends that the investment in cultural and social facilities is central in the formation of citizens with full rights to the city.

CULTURE AT RISK

Parais처polis is a wellestablished community with over 40 years in the making. With roughly 80,000 inhabitants, this city district represents a space of opportunity for many coming to S찾o Paulo from many other states to start a new life. As a result, the ever growing demands for affordable housing and basic urban services remain a priority for the municipal and national governments.

GROTÃO TRANSIT HUB:

ACTIVE, DIVERSE AND CONNECTED

Building on current plans to provide access to the metropolitan metro system in Paraisópolis, my project explores the opportunities to locate one of the two proposed stations in the Grotão. By inhabiting the very perimeter condition with a critical point of access to transit and additional commercial and recreational programs, the proposal builds a new ground that invites citizens from disparate incomes and social groups to access the city together. Together with the stop in the elevated monorail line, the new GROTÃO Transit

01 [opposite] Axonometric layering of the Hub Station

Station is a place where thousands of commuters will easily find their way. The project includes activities that are culturally dynamic, commercially supported and public, friendly “gate” to all citizens. The resulting transit hub provides connections with the local bus system, facilities for bike sharing, and additional parking spaces. The building is nestled in concave belt-shape site, and through the stacking of functions, commuters can easily transfer between different modes of transport. Within the station, the programs range from retail activities in the lower floor, to cultural activities located in the upper levels. A striking wooden roof makes the station a unique and vibrant place, providing room for other activities such as a recreational playground,multipurpose spaces and specific events that will be open for public use all the time.

GROTÃO TRANSIT HUB

Located in its southeastern part of Paraisópolis, the Grotão district is among the most inaccessible and poorly served by infrastructure. The steep topography and the impassable perimeter condition with the wealthy Morumbi district contribute to the physical and social isolation of the area.

Located in the west-side perimeter street, the elevated metro station serves the surrounding wealthy community and reconnect this area efficiently with the rest of the metro region. To serve this disparate publics, the project includes a rich set of programs: parking facilities, bus station and electrical bike system. Within the station, the programs range from the retail and commercial activities in the lower floor, to cultural activities located in the upper levels. The new GROTĂ&#x192;O Transit Station will be a place where thousands of commuters easily find their way. The gateway to ParaisĂłpolis, it will also be a remarkable place to connect to the nearby neighborhoods. The transport hub

has been designed to respond to the growth in passenger numbers and make an expansion of services and facilities available. A striking wooden roof makes the station a unique and vibrant place, a well-integrated and characteristic destination where the comfort of travellers and local residents is put first. The design for the station area takes its inspiration from the sand dune landscape , the folding planes mimic the natural topography. The building is nestled in concave belt-shape site. Through the smart stacking of functions, such as the car park, bus station, retail facilities, and bicycle lines, commuters can easily transfer between different modes of transport.

REIMAG(E)NING WASTE:

RECYCLING AND REUSE, AN URBAN CONSTELLATION

Responding to this challenge, this project focuses on the opportunities around recycling and reuse in Paraisópolis through three areas of focus. The first is by increasing recycling streams through a collection system that eases recycling for residents and businesses, and would be connected with the sorting plant in Paraisópolis. Due to the fact that a lot of waste on the street is recyclable, it will help to ease its presence on the street.

01 [opposite] Doors, colors and textures in Paraisópolis

The second strategy is to promote residents’ knowledge on recycling and reuse through the workshop linked to the existing sorting plant. The workshop serves as a fabrication facility for making profitable artefacts so the profit around recycling stays in local and benefits the residents more broadly. Part of the workshop also serves as an education facility to raise residents’ awareness on recycling and reuse. The third area of focus is the creation of a second market for recycled materials through a reuse station, the manufacturing of waste disposal prototypes and other artefacts through material workshops. This component brings revenue for people in Paraisópolis and empowers the community.

REIMAG(E)NING WASTE

Despite the current importance of recycling for the local economy, the pervasive presence of waste in the public spaces in Paraisópolis remains an area of concern. From the public health risks to its impact in the quality of the urban experience, the opportunities to retool the urban imaginary around waste through recycling and reuse is a fertile ground for design innovation.
