It is located in the most central part of São Paulo with all the commercial and public activities. The city has vibrant skyscrapers Site Area: 3396 square meter Project Brief: The project embraces the overarching theme of the environmental performance of tall office buildings, proposing a critical review that covers issues related to their environmental performance from both architectural and urban perspective. The tall building typology is taken as a design challenge to the study of environmental architecture and its contemporary objectives, principles and methods. The city of São Paulo is the biggest “urban laboratory” of tall buildings in South America, with multiple clusters of commercial and residential tall buildings across the city. 4

Why triangular shape ? The main goal was to bring a building which has its own identity and contributes to the city with indulgence of the existing architecture. After further considerations and case studies, I decided adapt triangular form, as it is considered as one of the best global shape for a tall building (e.g. Commerze Bank). The placement of my slender tower was carefully placed at the corner to segregate it from the existing context making it a CORNER BUILDING. This building work as a normal tower and environmental. Additionally it provides a lot of buffer space between the tower which is kept semi open for the recreational activities.
