Abstract
In 1968 The Art Museum (MASP), of Lina Bo Bardi and the Faculty of Architecture (FAU-USP), of Joao Vilanova Artigas with Carlos Cascaldi were finshed in Sao Paulo. This year is very complex in the political situation of the country. Lina designed an architectural block from a collective conscience and defined a place for any activity of the citizens. This project altered its next space and the ideas about how should be public areas in the city. The building with form of prism of the Faculty of Architecture articulated the new plan of Architecture degree. This educational program defined a cooperative system of vertical and horizontal learning. The interior space of the building is the meeting point and maximum social activity. This place is key in the structure of the whole educational center and in the construction of this engine of social change. Both projects of hard geometries propose an integral construction of the public space that they lead to a social transformation. The first building presents an expansive proposal and the second one is more concentrated. Two objects that created new urban events where the union between the building and its immediate and common context is key to understand it.
