ALLOMORPHY

Centro Universitário Izabela Hendrix, Belo Horizonte

Project idea

Project ALLOMORPHY intends to: transform the city from its center, encouraging mixed use of buildings, where daytime and nighttime commerce is stimulated; promote building regularization intending to enforce safety; stimulate now-abandoned buildings retrofit; requalify Republic Square to optimize public space usage; to honor story and give it a new phase. Thus, Project Alomorfia would do what its name means: transformation. This special region of São Paulo’s center would be attributed a new meaning, being rediscovered and reoccupied
