school, cultural and sporting equipment Contradicting the negative image of water resources that prevails in the relationship between the city of São Paulo and its rivers, the design of a Technical School with Cultural and Sporting Equipment to the community of Corner of the Sky seeks to rediscover an architecture that uses water as part project, in a constant pursuit of coexistence between natural and built. Notice the impact of these large structures as potential transformer of sociability in the periphery, highlighting the notion of public equipment as part of a system of urban integration. As a starting point, the project extends the edges of the dam into the lot, creating a more subtle transition between land and water. The character of leisure and conviviality of the place is created from this expansion of the perimeter of margins. For inserting of the equipment in the local landscape, we sought the horizontal distribution of the program. Through continuity between topography and roof of the building remains the desired visual and spatial fluidity. Access to the building is close to 766m elevation, creating a large square continuous over the entire volume. Therein lies the public auditorium covered by inclined planes which allow the continuity of the space of the square and provide unique character to be user.

The school, on the lower level, has access to parallel program complex cultural-sports. However, the unit is ensured by building walkways that sew the building volume and give freedom to the displacement, reiterating the possibility of meeting between people, architecture and landscape. Laboratories and classrooms are located on both arms . The activity develops through the levels connected by a ramp that follows the longitudinal slope of the building linking all program activities. The library stands as highlighted space in the project to be located on the water, allowing a visual straightforwardness the landscape of the dam. The importance of this volume lightness is reinforced by the support rods on the top floor, creating a large vent in the building volume. The sports complex is next to the water level, emphasizing its use integrated shores. The pool, bounded by walkways, is inserted into the extension of the dam, maintaining the visual continuity of this. As the volume envelope, a metal screen is placed on the building facades ensuring uniformly and protecting the solar incidence, under a transparency that complements the social contact and the visual frames existing in place.
