Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of São Paulo
Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of São Paulo, Modernist faculty building in Butantã District, São Paulo, Brazil.
The concrete building features a central atrium with connecting ramps across six levels, emphasizing spatial continuity through its open design without entrance doors.
Founded in 1948, the faculty moved to its current location in 1969, in a structure designed by architects João Batista Vilanova Artigas and Carlos Cascaldi.
The building serves as a center for architectural education, hosting 1,300 graduate students and 900 postgraduate students who study architecture, urbanism, and design.
The faculty includes specialized facilities such as experimental construction sites, model workshops, printing studios, photography labs, and sculpture workshops.
The building's design eliminates traditional barriers between spaces, creating an environment where students and faculty move freely between different educational areas.
