Abstract

O lugar do pensamento. The Poetic Concreteness of Artigas’ FAU The Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo at the Universidade de São Paulo (J. B. Vilanova Artigas and C. Castaldi, 1961-1968) is a project-symbol, it is a point where architecture expresses values and lessons. This building expresses the distinguishing characteristics of the Paulista School: the result is a sublime synthesis between architecture, engineering and ideology. From its foundation the School presented itself as the champion of an ethical study of the human experience: the project represents the first gesture of confronting concrete reality, with the aim of creating social interaction and collective well-being. Various aspects of the Paulista architectural language can be related to the literary and artistic manifestations of the Concretist Movement, widespread in São Paolo in the early 1950s. It is possible to notice a contiguity between the profound choices, the nobility of intentions and the adjectives used to describe concrete art and architecture. The definitions of the concepts of space and form are central to both, though in ethical rather than aesthetic terms. They are the expression of an idea, realistically associated with the context in which it is situated and to which it is directed. The Paulista projects, with their unprecedented and often unexpected constructive and ideological choices, possess a formal clarity and concreteness. The architecture of the School is expressed in the essentiality of its forms, imposing for the strength of the ideas its transmits. Collective concerns take priority over the aesthetic, and architectural austerity translates into a social project.
