São Paulo is a prime example among megacities in emerging countries for how to tackle major social challenges they face Presents São Paulo’s prudent and inclusive policy in urban development and infrastructure planning Demonstrates the city’s focus on programs and usages serving the permanent residents rather than iconic, tourist-orientated projects such as museums Features projects realized and planned since the 1960s that exemplify the underlying concepts and strategies Infrastructures for residents: São Paulo’s long-term investment in communal architecture, a prime example for how to tackle major social challenges in mega-cities Like all mega-cities around the globe, São Paulo faces huge challenges. Yet despite these manifold and daunting tasks, the Brazilian metropolis has since the 1960s maintained a prudent policy of investing in communal infrastructure, thus providing inclusive places and spaces for all of its 20m-population. While many cities aim for a “Bilbao-effect” by funding iconic, tourist-orientated projects such as museums or theatres, São Paulo persistently supports programs and usages that serve its permanent residents. This book features a selection of these buildings and projects from five decades. Ranging from a simple canopy over a public park to vast multifunctional buildings, they provide spaces for sports and culture, education, healthcare, or gastronomy. Rather than merely serving a specific purpose, their key role is to be places for people spending time together.

Introduces a new approach in architectural thinking Offers a foundation for conceiving architecture in a world largely free of ideologies and references Highlights the general importance and framework of architecture today Valerio Olgiati is one of Switzerland’s most renowned contemporary architects whose writings and lectures are received widely around the world Valerio Olgiati and Markus Breitschmid’s manifesto for a new architecture in a world free of ideologies and, therefore, references More than ever, architecture is in need of provocation, a new path beyond the traditional notion that buildings must serve as vessels, or symbols of something outside themselves. Non-Referential Architecture is nothing less than a manifesto for a new architecture. It brings together two leading thinkers, architect Valerio Olgiati and theorist Markus Breitschmid, who have grappled with this problem since their first encounter in 2005. In a world that itself increasingly rejects ideologies of any kind, Olgiati and Breitschmid offer Non-Referential Architecture as a radical, new approach free from rigid ideologies. Non-referential buildings, they argue, are entities that are themselves meaningful outside a vocabulary of fixed symbols and images and their historical connotations. For more than a decade, Olgiati and Breitschmid’s thinking has placed them at the forefront of architectural theory. Indispensable for understanding what the future might hold for architecture, Non-Referential Architecture has become a new classic. Valerio Olgiati runs his studio in Flims, Switzerland, working on projects for public and private clients in various countries. He is also a professor at Accademia di architettura, Università della Svizzera italiana in Mendrisio. Markus Breitschmid is professor of architecture theory at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
