1. The song “Sampa” (by Caetano
Veloso), a tribute the city of São
Paulo, is used as input information
for the parametric design of the
ceiling. Data from its graph of fre-
quencies and amplitudes on time
is converted on the structure ele-
ments of the ceiling along its entire
extension.

2. MCA’s curators realized that one of
the museum’s outdoor spaces, the
entry courtyard, could be more than
just an area visitors passed through
on the way into the museum proper.
They wanted to transform this in-be-
tween space into a flexible outdoor
room for workshops, performances,
art installations, and other events —
and also an enjoyable spot where
visitors could relax.

3. • All furniture in the productivity chamber is light-
weight, movable and stackable. With the mobility of
the furniture, it is possible to see different seating ar-
rangement every single day following the event hap-
pening that day.
• To provide a soft space divider for particular
events, curtains have been installed to help compart-
mentalise the chamber to ease space management.
• Another design strategy for the facade is to expose
the interior features to be habitable parts of the exteri-
or. The top part of the mini amphitheatre extends out
of the facade and becomes outdoor seating for the
customer; pushed back shopfront gives space for out-
door co-working area and the clerestory window
gives a glimpse into what is happening in the produc-
tivity chamber.

4. Glowing orange circles dominate the interior, an apt
accessory to the ground floors ‘Sunset Club’. These dif-
ferent glowing orange orbs embedded in the walls pro-
vide most of the artificial light within the interior, mimick-
ing the light of the setting sun. The orange circles and
semicircles are reflected and illuminated to achieve the
feeling of relaxation experienced at sunset. On the
second floor is more of an exhibition space with an
open plan interior and no fixed partitions setup to allow
for a flexible interior. Long strip windows, square sky-
lights, and glass doors blend natural light with the atmo-
sphere. Upstairs an orange and white striped rooftop is
accessible via two entrances, offering a birds-eye view
of the city skyline.

• After passing through two walls of different heights that
serve as buffer from the expressway outside, upon entering the
temple, visitors face the view of the Main Hall that sits at the
far end of a 80-meter long lotus pond. The reflections on the
pond of the over-sized colonnades and the flowing golden
drapes in between create a scene of illusory quality. Using
architectural concrete as the main material, the design reduc-
es the color and form to a minimum, conveying the spirit of
Zen Buddhism.
• The lower part of the Grand Hall is transparent, giving it an
impression of its upper wooden “box” being suspended in the
air. On the west side of the Grand Hall, a massive wooden
wall is carved with the famous “Heart Sutra” in Chinese char-
acters. As the lights shine through the carved-out characters,
the space is infused with an aura of culture and spirituality.
Outside the long corridor, the characters of the “Vajracchedi-
ka Prajnaparamita Sutra” are cast void on the prefabricated
GRC panels, providing additional religious meaning while
functioning as sunshades.

6. • A crystal globe has been placed at the centre of
the meditation chamber as focal point of attention,
and a heliostat has been designed to direct the sun
rays onto this globe. This is the only illumination for the
meditation chamber.
• The heliostat has a mirror which rotates in conso-
nance with the movement of the earth so that the sun-
light is reflected constantly at the same angle. When
the sun is not shining, artificial lighting is used to simu-
late the effect of natural light.

7. • BUFA is expanding its user base beyond film-
makers to encompass all forms of ‘change
makers’, including organisations and individuals
with a focus on activism and social justice – cat-
alysed by a change of identity in its physical
spaces.

8. • With the factory’s arresting red-brick chimney overhead and jammed between two
colonial-esque buildings, visitors were lured through a threshold of interlocking terracot-
ta-coloured bricks that gave way to a parade of small corridors and rooms arranged
within a narrow space.
• Open to all citizens and visitors, the festival aims to rediscover spaces of interest in the
city’s historic downtown through happenings in hidden spaces that typically go unno-
ticed in day-to-day life.

9. • Sandwiched between two tall, multi-level commercial buildings, Omoken Park is a low, semi-en-
closed structure. The architects incorporated elements that the surrounding streetscape lacked, such
as introducing a ‘pocket park’ via patches of greenery planted on either side of a timber pathway
that leads into the interior.
• The ground floor is open at both ends, creating a walkway through to the street parallel. A
simple coffee counter and communal table populate the interior. In order to work within a minimal
construction budget and legal restrictions, the architects kept the lower volume to less than
100sqm, creating as little strain as possible on the environment. A simple steel frame supports the
timber facades and pile foundation.
