The project concerns the Colégio Benjamin Constant high school in São Paulo, Brazil, within the campus of the German-born school in the Villa Mariana neighborhood.
Part of a master plan for the entire subdivision, the high school sits on a corner of a busy street in the city center, an ideal continuation of Avenida Paulista. This master plan includes the creation of new urban frontages and the school's voluntary cession of surfaces open to the public as an extension of existing pedestrian spaces and green areas.
The project generally reflects on the theme of identity. A local (Brazilian) identity, a foundational (German) identity, and a formative (German-Brazilian) synthesis.
The Brazilian identity aims to strengthen the school's relationship with the city and local culture.
The German identity, which has been the foundation of the college since the beginning of the twentieth century, aims to be an element of recognition and communication to the outside world, to strengthen its presence within the urban center of São Paulo.
The union of these two identities and cultures is the basis of the school's educational project and the new high school, wants to be a plastic representation of it.
The building consists of four above-ground floors and a basement of services. The size and functional needs led to creating a classroom block facing the street and allocating the remaining space for services and meeting spaces.
The first three levels feature classrooms of German inspiration and technology, while on the top floor, a large open but covered and shaded classroom evokes typically Brazilian ways of living and forms that are inspired by Roberto Burle Marx's gardens.
Identity is expressed through materials and construction techniques. The brick toward the street is reminiscent of northern European images, such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Haus Esters and Haus Lange, but its red color is typical of the soil of the state of São Paulo.
The wide corridor in front of each classroom is designed on the one hand to protect from the sun ( northern exposure in this hemisphere) and on the other to be open and allow natural ventilation of the entire school. The Portuguese mosaic flooring on the ground floor enters from the outside of the building to the inside, becoming an extension of the public space.
The Cobogo', a typical element of Brazilian architecture, toward the courtyard creates a bioclimatic screen and acts as a filter toward a wide air see with vegetation typical of the Mata Atlântica.
The building becomes at night like a lit lantern in the park.
