DESCRIPTION

"To achieve sustainable development in Itaquera, the city must develop an open space network that spatially integrates economic, cultural and ecological infrastructures. " During the spring studio, we worked in collaboration with the Sao Paulo city planning department, COHAB and SEHAB(housing departments) to re-envision the proposed master plan for the area surrounding the Corinthians stadium for the 2014 World Cup. The project was concluded with the publication that was sent to the Sao Paulo city officials.

To achieve sustainable urban development in Itaquera, the city must develop an open space network that spatially integrates economic, ecological and cultural infrastructures.

To be successful, the Institutional and Technical Hub of Itaquera proposal requires urban intensification. This entails increasing the density of the site by utilizing the existing programmatic anchors and adjacent neighborhood urban fabric to create Common Ground; a new armature that provides for housing and mixed-use buildings within the site.

In order to do this, we see the existing ‘empty’ or residual space and the severe topography on site to be advantages in an integration strategy. Instead of defining where new built fabric needs to be, we instead define where the Common Ground needs to be. These preserved spaces integrate not only the existing fabric but also new development. Common Ground is conceived as a dynamic infrastructure that can change over time based on organic public uses and private incremental growth of programs surrounding it. In true public/private partnership fashion, the sale of extra private development spurs additional and new public space growth.

In addition to this open space network, we also introduce new architectural typologies that can accommodate for incremental growth. These are based on topological conditions, scalar and programmatic relations onsite. This new topography and open space network allows for the creation of Common Ground; an ecological infrastructure that allows for increased mobility and an intensification and densification of economic and cultural functions.

MASTER PLAN CRITIQUE

SITE ANALYSIS

Sao Paulo is looking to take full advantage of the 2014 World Cup. One stadium that is being constructed for the event is in Itaquera, on the eastern edge of the city. The stadium afterwards will be the home of the Corinthians, a popular local football club. Currently, city officials plan on using the rest of the site to develop a technical hub that will serve both international and regional

needs. Our critique of their master plan is that it is not cognizant of the local population or local needs. The site is surrounded by a ring of what we call ‘residual space’ which includes parking lots, large transit infrastructure and open spaces. These literally cut off the surrounding community from the amenities in the site, and forces them to drive into the site from their homes. The car-centric and insular approach to the site is a disadvantage.

SITE STRATEGY

PROCESS

SITE STRATEGY & PROCESS

Our strategy for the site consists of identifying these residual spaces and programmatic anchors and using them as an armature to create a new type of infrastructure, one which we call Common Ground. This void network is a preserved public space corridor along which both private and public development occurs. Instead of the residual being a disconnection, we see it as a connection.

Identify programmatic anchors and adjacent residual spaces

Intensify and densify programs along a void network

Connect through a new dynamic void and program network

Grow both program and void through public activity and market forces

We analyze this strategy specifically at the stadium site, but this technique can be applied to virtually any of the residual space in the site, as identified in the diagram above. In order for this void network to be performative instead of a barrier, it needs to provide for mobility between programs. This is a potentially difficult challenge because of the existing topography and ecology, compounded by the addition of new transit infrastructure.

PUBLIC SPACE CONNECTION

STADIUM SITE STRATEGY

Overcoming the challenge of disconnection due to existing topography and ecology and new transit infrastructure is studied at the Corinthians Stadium. We propose moving the parking and providing pedestrian access to the adjacent neighborhood. We begin with a monofunctional anchor on either side; housing and sport/mall. A new mixed-use development blends the two, allowing for a new type of community to be created which begins to then impact the anchors.

Standardized units withina flexible footprintallow forthe expansion of residentialunits.

Exterior expansion is alsoaccomodated at both the ground floor and the upperbalcony levels.

PERSPECTIVE COMMON GROUND

We see our Common Ground strategy affecting not only the large connections between monofunctional programs but also the new mixed-used typologies in the new development. This public space network creates courtyards and balconies which connects the community and creates vibrant public spaces.
