PINHEIROS HIGH DENSITYADAM PERRING

SCENARIOIt is the year 2020. The energy infrastructure supplying power to Pinheiros has reached capacity and the Federal Government has declared a moratorium on new fossil-fuelled and nuclear power stations. Following record rainfall in 2014, including a major flood event, Sao Paulo has again experienced six years of drought, placing significant pressure on draws on metropolitan water storage. Despite these unstable weather patterns, the macro-climatic conditions of temperature and humidity remain reasonably stable – summers continue to be hot and fully-humid; winters remain very mild. More people are seeking to live close to transport corridors to take advantage of available public transport options to offset fuel prices which tripled since 2012.

(THE GARDEN EVEREST) IS ONE OF THE RICH-EST SUBURBS OF SAOPAULO WITH MANY OF THE UPPER CLASSES LIVING HERE.

LARGE SHOPPING CENTRE PROVIDES AMENITY FOR LARGE AREAS YET DRAINS THE ACTIVATION OF SPACES THROUGH RETAIL AND ECONOMIC ENDEAVOURS.

CAR RELIANT CENTRES NEED LARGE AREAS FOR PARKING, WHICH IS OBSOLETE SPACE WHEN IT COMES TO CREATING SUSTAINABLE SPACES. THESE ARE THE VOIDS OF THE CITY.

CENTRALLY LOCATED TRANSIT HUB DOES PROVIDE GOOD ACCESS IN THEORY BUT ITS DEPENDANCE ON PREDEFINED TRANSIT ROUTES CREATES AN AWKWARD SPATIAL/EGRESS TREATMENT.

EXISTING LOW DENSITY HOUSING DOES PROVIDE DIVERSE LIVING CONDITIONS, BUT DUE TO POPULATION GROWTH IT WILL SOON BECOME OBSOLETE.

ROADS WHICH DO HAVE SOME PEDESTRIAN FLOW ACT ONLY AS TRANIT LANES NSTEAD OF DIVERSE COMMUNAL MEETING PLACES.

STREETS TEND TO PRIORITISE TOWARDS VEHICLLE MOVEMENT AND PARKING INSTEAD OF PEDESTRIAN ENGAGEMNT.

COMMERCIAL SUSTAINABILITY

A SUSTAINABLE PRECINCT MUST ENSURE THAT IT COVERS ALL THREE DISTINCTS ZONES OF THE SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLES.

IF A COMPLEX/PRECINCT LACKS SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY IT WILL ENABLE ILL-USE AND INACTIVITY TROUGHOUT.

ALTHOUGH GREAT EXAMPLES OF SUSTAINABLE

HIGH DENSITY MIXED USE SOCIAL COMMUNITIES EXIST IN PARISIAN TYPOLOGIES WE STILL CONTINUE TO PUSH FOR PRCENCTS OF ISOLATION THROUGH THE EXCESSIVE USE OF THE AUTOMOBILE

THE SEGREGATION OF ACTIVITIES RESULTS

IN STREETS BEOMING THOROUGHFARES , PLACES OF TRANSIT, NOT THE DIVERSE SOCIAL MAKEUP REQUIRED TO SUPPORT HEALTHY AND

SUSTAINABLE SOCIAL CONDITIONS.

CURRENTLY THE USE OF THE AUTOMOBILE RESULTS IN SEGREGATION OF KEY PRECINCTS DUE TO THE ABILITY TO TRAVEL LARGE DISTANCES. THIS AIDS THE EVER-INCREASING ISSUE OF URBAN SPRAWL, WHILE SOCIALLY CREATING INACTIVE RESIDENTIAL PRECINCTS.

EXISTING

PROPOSED

RESULT

TO COUNTERACT THIS PUSH FOR ISOLATION AND SPRAWL WITHIN DENSE MEGACITIES, SEGREGATED COMMUNITIES OF RETAIL AND COMERCIAL VENTURES NEED TO BE RE:INTEGRATED INTO THE SOCIAL CONSTRUCT OF THE RESIDENTIAL PRECINCTS TO CREATE A SUSTAINABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENT.

THE RESULT OF THIS RE:INTEGRATION WILL BE THE ACTIVATION OF THE RESIDENTIAL PRECINCTS THROUGH ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL ENDEAVOURS OF THE COMMUNITY. PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT WILL BECOME PRIORITY OVER VEHICLES, WHILE EXISITING LARGE SCALE INFASTRUCTURE CAN BE RE:VITALISED TO CREATE DIVERSE ECOLOGICAL PARKLANDS.

URBANPROPOSALTO ENSURE ACTIVATION OF SPACE THROUGH-OUT THE PRECINCT SEGREGATED RETAIL DIS-TRICTS HAVE BEEN REINTEGRATED BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY TO CREATE DIVERSE LIVING CONDITIONS. THE EXISTING SPACE IS TRANS-FORMED INTO LARGE AREAS OF PARKLAND, A MUCH NEEDED COMMODITY WITHIN THE CITY OF SAO PAULO.

THE URBAN PROPOSAL AIMS TO DEFINE A SET OF LOOSE GUIDELINES IN WHICH A DEVELOP-MENT LIKE THIS WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL.

BY IMPLEMENTING THESE GUIDELINES THE RE-SULT WILL BE A PRECINCT WHICH HAS STRONG COMMUNITY, ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMI-CAL GROWTH. IN A PUREST SENSE IT WILL BE THE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY FOR CHANGE.

TO COUNTERACT THE REPERCUSSIONS OF INSTANT CHANGE IN SOCIAL CONSTRUCTS, THE DEVELOPMENT WILL HAPPEN IN A STAGED PROCESS. EACH STAGE WILL BE TREATED AS A SEPARATE SITE WITH THE SAME SUSTAINABLE PRINCIPLES. THIS WILL CREATE INDIVIDUALIS-TIC SPATIAL QUALITIES RESULTING IN A HIGHLY DETAILED AND DIVERSE MIXED USE PRECINCT.

- MUST STORE WATER- MAINTAIN KEY ACCESS LINKS AS DEFINED BELOW- FOCUS ON PEDESTRIAN SUITABLE DESIGN PHILOSPHY- ENSURE ENERGY USE IS MINIMISED THROUGH INNOVATIVE INTEGRATED ENERGY SYSTEMS- CREATE COMMUNITY ZONES FOR RESIDENTS TO MAKE THE AREA THERE’S.
