Sao Paulo Minhocao The Worm Alexander Pilis

The Global Architecture São Paulo 2014. John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, University of Toronto and Associação Escola da Cidade. Projects are the result of a three weeks design studio program in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia. Architecture, Landscape, and Design students developed a dynamic multi-disciplinary research in praxis - architectural and urban thought and representations of the Minhocão, that hardly has any "public amenities". The design and praxis projects change and impact the urban meaning of a derelict and important suspended 3.5km highway within a congested urban area - the ""Minhocão - the Worm""
