The project, designed by the architecture office design Hector Vigliecca & Associates, proposed an intervention that addressed 6 aspects related to the public realm: replacement of poles and overhead wiring system by underground networks and cable system; new urban paving; landscape setting; lighting; street benches, and reorganization of the parking lots.

Twelve quality criteria defined by Jean Gehl, were considered, as follows: protection against traffic and accidents; protection against crime and uncomfortable sensorial experiences; opportunities to walk, to remain standing, to sit, to see, to listen and to talk, to play and play sports; scale; opportunities to enjoy the weather; and positive sensorial experiences [6]. II. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK The discussion about the quality of public space is an important issue for the city and urban planning in general. In 1956, Joseph Luis Sert proposed the creation of the discipline of Urban Design as "a part of Figure 3. São Paulo city in 1914. the urban planning that deals with the physical form of Source: Arquivo histórico da cidade de São Paulo. the city”, [7]. Three significant publications occurred in the 60s that highlighted the importance of public spaces and its relation with the men. Kevin Lynch in Articles on Oscar Freire Street appear in the archives "The image of the city", the perception of space by the of São Paulo newspapers starting from 1880. But it man; Gordon Cullen in "Urban Landscape", the was only 70 years later that the street began to stand analysis of the urban landscape, and Jane Jacobs in out as a meeting point for leisure and sophisticated "Life and death of the great American cities", the businesses in São Paulo: urban vitality concept. “In 1959, even the sidewalk with cobblestones, has seen In more than half a century that has passed, there crowded shops. In the early 70s, the city government was a scientific breakthrough in the issue of public wanted the area to become strictly residential, but local space in the city. Several urban design qualities such businesses resisted. As a result, Oscar Freire ended up us: vitality, legibility, imageability, human scale, stealing the Glamour of Augusta Street.

  • Privatizing Urban Planning and the Struggle for Inclusive Urban Development: New Redevelopment Forms and Participatory Planning in São Paulo
    Privatizing Urban Planning and the Struggle for Inclusive Urban Development: New Redevelopment Forms and Participatory Planning in São Paulo by Joshua Daniel Shake A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Urban and Regional Planning) in The University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Professor Martin J. Murray, Chair Associate Professor David S. Bieri, Virginia Tech University Assistant Professor Harley F. Etienne Clinical Professor Melvyn Levitsky Associate Professor Eduardo Cesar Leão Marques, University of São Paulo © Joshua Daniel Shake 2016 DEDICATION To my mother, who gave me my love for books, inspired my passion for travel, and always encouraged me to ask questions about the world around me. She may no longer be here with me, but I know I would not be where I am today without her guidance and love and that she continues to provide both. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Over the past four years, I have discovered that completing a Ph.D. is an odd mixture of personal dedication, determination, and desire, along with making sure you have the right people around you to provide guidance, help, and support along the way. While in the limited space here I cannot give due credit to all of those that contributed in some form to this endeavor, I do want to call attention to a few very important individuals without whom I would not have completed this undertaking. My first and largest thank you goes to my committee members: Martin Murray, Eduardo Marques, Harley Etienne, David Bieri, and Melvyn Levitsky. Their feedback and advice on research, academic, and non-academic issues will always be valued.

    Innovation is ViaQuatro’s trademark for São Paulo’s urban mobility Subway Line 4 (Yellow) offers unprecedented technologies to its passengers Responsible for the operation and maintenance of Line 4 (Yellow) of the São Paulo subway, ViaQuatro invests in innovations exclusively designed to transport passengers in a safe, fast and comfortable way. Its technological edge ranges from platform doors to the driverless system, timers that show when the train will arrive at the station and a display that shows the number of people in each car. Line 4 (Yellow) trains are equipped with the most modern subway technology, which combines radio CBTC (Communications-based train control) and driverless operation (no conductors). This system prevents human errors and controls both train speed and intervals, as necessary. It also controls the number of trips, door opening times and the number of trains in the line based on passenger demand. Line 4 (Yellow) trains have air conditioning, free passage between the cars, mobile phone signal, low noise level, energy efficient lighting and direct communication with the Operation Control Center (CCO). CCTV cameras follow movements in real time throughout the line, inside the trains, in the stations and in the parking and maintenance yards. The fleet, composed of 29 trains, carries 750,000 passengers per business day, in 951 trips. The stations are also modern and comfortable. Line 4 (Yellow) was the first line in Latin America to install glass panel doors that separate the platform from the rails. The platform doors open at the same time as the train doors and trains stop exactly where users get on and off, helping reduce the number of accidents and interruptions in the subway.

    Architectures of the People: Material and Cultural Politics of Housing in São Paulo, 1950-1995 by José Henrique Bortoluci A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Sociology) in The University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Professor George P. Steinmetz, Chair Associate Professor Matthew Hull Assistant Professor Robert S. Jansen Associate Professor Greta R. Krippner Associate Professor Claire A. Zimmerman © José Henrique Bortoluci 2016 All archaeology of matter is an archaeology of humanity. What this clay hides and shows is the passage of a being through time and space, the marks left by fingers, the scratches left by fingernails, the ashes and the charred logs of burned-out bonfires, our bones and those of others, the endlessly bifurcating paths disappearing off into the distance and merging with each other. José Saramago, The cave, p. 66. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS From the moment I began to cultivate the initial ideas for this dissertation on the house as a political and cultural assemblage, I have lived in at least eleven houses in two different cities. These cities could not be more dissimilar: the São Paulo of movement, concrete, traffic, the continuous sensorial excitement that inspires (if it does not drive you mad), and scandalous inequality and the Ann Arbor of cafés and libraries, long and cold winters, running tracks by the river, and a soothing yet sometimes annoying and artificial calm (do not forget Detroit is around the corner). My experience of these two cities, colored by visits to Jaú and Rio de Janeiro whenever possible, are the background and the material of this dissertation.

  • He Tendencies of Character Monumental Intervention: Brazilian
    Patricia Viceconti he tendencies of character Nahas t monumental intervention: brazilian experience (1980-2010) 056 Abstract The article “The tendencies of character monumental intervention: pós- Brazilian experience (1980-2010)”, is based on the reflection about the current dialogues between the old and the new, permanence and innovation, which are part of the scene of contemporary architectural production where it has been observed, more and more, that old buildings are becoming part of a new history of the city. In order to discuss that phenomenon in Brazil, the study has defined as geographical and temporal bias the Brazilian architectural production in monumental intervention programs in the period between the 1980’s and 2000’s, based on the conclusion that most of such production does not comply with the criteria established by the disciplinary field of restoration, where practice is replaced by discretion and experimentation without so much severity and critical judgment based on the meaning of the preexisting work. Aiming to understand Brazilian scene as for valuing its heritage and materialization of which values, which criteria and how intervention and preservation of monuments are carried out in practice, from significant examples, we identify eight representative intervention tendencies: Autonomy, Differentiation, Reinterpretation, Ripristino , Appropriation, Completion, Preservation and Reintegration, thus originating groups with similar features, not totally severe and closed, but which, somehow, could make reading works easier and characterize the interventions overview in national scene concerning restoration disciplinary field.
