Inside an area of Guarulhos City, a very industrial town, Via Flora neighborhood started to be occupied by irregular and disordered dwellings amidst the industrial remains.

The multinational company Umicore is installed there and wanted Levisky Arquitetos to structure a public-private partnership, to run a Feasibility Study for Via Flora Park, mediating the efforts from the company and the city hall to renew the region.

In an area of 11,250 square meters, the project aims at mitigating environmental impacts and offering public equipment with spaces for sports, leisure, culture, and coexistence – based on universal design guidelines and respecting the natural topography of this terrain. The tree restoration in partnership and landscape curation with the Secretariat of Green and Environment brings species dedicated to phytoremediation. To guarantee the visual permeability and safety of users, translucent closures were proposed at the park’s boundary with the Fernão Dias Highway.

The park spaces are organized in floors following the levels of the land and include Praça das Águas square and a playground, with educational, recreational and playful character, and a closed water reuse system. Near that we proposed sports courts and a skatepark, an environment with outdoor fitness equipment and a second, wider, contemplative, and social square, with space for events and a side grandstand connecting to the lower level. The project also proposes a hiking trail, playground, community exhibition space, and a new walkway that connects the neighborhoods cut by the Fernão Dias Highway.

Based on the new instrument foreseen in the São Paulo Master Plan, aimed at encouraging the expansion and insertion of new services in the hospital sector and health research, a Hospital Master Plan was proposed, consisting of an expansion and reorganization plan for the sectors of a reference health institution in the city.

As a proposal, a new building was presented, capable of expanding the highly complex surgical center and the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), designed by contemporary concepts such as “clean core” and “flexible beds”, aiming at excellence and, above all, greater humanization of its processes.

The choice for ICU flexible beds involves several advantages, ranging from the reduction of potential medication errors, reduction of hospital stay to improve patient and family satisfaction.

The project started with the need to install a building as an integral part of the hospital complex, which would meet the demand for administrative spaces and operational support from the hospital, in addition to the establishment of services with an active facade.

The project is organized in two towers, connected through a walkway, providing more faces of the building with natural lighting and enabling the program to be adapted to accommodate spaces for permanence. This typology also generates two voids, which connect to the lower floors of housing care and operational support programs. The façades have horizontal and sliding glass panels on the floors, alternated with vertical sliding metallic windshields, which give the building the possibility of controlling aeration and insolation.

The healthcare program has a diagnostic center, a surgical center, emergency services, and admission areas, as well as operational and administrative support, parking lots, and conviviality areas.

The preliminary study for Hospital Support Building started from the demand for administrative and operational support spaces presented by a large hospital situaded in the city of São Paulo. Following the land slope, the project was conceived in a staggered way, allowing the best use of areas, providing a privileged view of a very important square in the city.

The sectorization guidelines resulted in a large horizontal volume, with loose and light volumes. To provide better thermal comfort for the sides facing east, in addition to the garden terraces, cantilevered slabs were provided. On the north-facing sides, with better views, openings were provided to frame the landscape, associated with cantilevered slabs, terraces, and windshields.

From a programmatic point of view, the project houses an administrative department, operational support areas, support areas for employees, parking, areas for chartered buses, and a food court, aimed at socializing and relaxing.

Concerned with rescuing heritage, public space, history, and memory of Bixiga neighborhood, in Bela Vista, downtown São Paulo, a network of local community associations and entities invited Levisky Arquitetos to seek solutions for Praça 14 Bis renewal.

Among other requests, the proposal had to meet the needs of the region, including reorganizing public transportation, green areas, pedestrian walks, public spaces devoted to memory, leisure, entertainment and gastronomic and artistic tourism that characterize the neighborhood that is so relevant to the city.

Combined with the demands and the macro infrastructure solutions planned for the city, the proposal is part of the Urban Intervention Plan. It considers the demolition of Doutor Plínio de Queiroz bridge, moving traffic flow to an underground passage, in addition to macro drainage solutions, rainwater reservoirs, and car-prepared surfaces with draining floors along Nove de Julho avenue.

Considering the landmarks of the neighborhood, where 14 Bis Square is located, the proposal includes expansion of the square itself, the green walks and the public promenade, in addition to the creation of leisure and sports areas, connected by new paved structures and urban furniture, promoting mobility and expanding possibilities of people permanence.
