Now I'm standing
Now I'm standing
A House in Jardins, São Paulo
"For a long time
I crawled
rolled
ran
fell
I aspired
I waited
Waited for what?
I don't know
I remade myself in parts
maybe I was never even whole."
Located on an urban lot in the city of São Paulo, this house is built from the materials of an existing generic house on the same lot, which will be demolished and reconfigured. Concrete, brick and existing elements are reimagined and united now in a distinct way, in a tectonic exploration, the house speaks of this continuous desire of humanity, to reconfigure the shelter, however now in a closed cycle, taking into account the materials already existing in the place.
