RED LIGHT BOURLEVARD
Redlight Boulevard
In order to integrate and provide quality work to the nomadic residents and sex workers of Largo do Arouche, an underground “Rua” is created with bars, erotic shops and Suite-shops (rooms with glass showcases) that provide conditions for free work for transvestites, currently present at R. Rego Freitas and the call boys of Cine Arouche and Cine República, supported by the LGBT Association and Sex Professionals.
Association
The association created is intended to support the activities developed on Red Light Boulevard.
Unlike the Amsterdam neighborhood where private companies rent rooms for sex workers, the project for Largo do Arouche has the association as a manipulator of activities, being responsible for renting rooms to professionals and for giving sergeant.
In addition, the association would develop fashion, creation and awareness activities.
It would also integrate the activities of the already existing Center of reference for the defense of diversity, present at R. Major Sertório.
Balloons Square
Looking with a playful look at the awareness about the use of condoms, the balloon square is created with varied shapes of balloons in rigid material and bright colors, in the molds of Jeff Koons' work
At night the atmosphere is all colored by balloons.
URBAN BEACH
With direct reference to Claude Cormier's Sugar Beach, the space seeks to create stays and a relaxation area amid the stone jungle of downtown São Paulo. There is an access to Minhocão Park in that area that connects and creates flows.
A geometric floor layout is created that recalls the arrival of the waves on the beach and the metallic visual barrier recreates the sinuosity of the waves.
The sculpture by Victor Brecheret, «After the bath», currently in the Praça do Largo, stands out.
BRONZ Deck
The narrow area of the Largo do Arouche passage between Sector 1 (Next to Av. Vieira de Carvalho) and Sector 2 (next to Av. Duque de Caxias) is marked by low permanence and little circulation, besides having bars on the floor to breathe from the Metro.
The deck seeks to soften the aesthetics of the breather, creating an elevated floor that allows ventilation and also creates a space for collective activities
Peatonal Street (ground floor)
The agglutination of the fragments of the Plaza of the 1940 project made it possible to have the vehicle traffic change as an important part of the project, encouraging flows in the Avenues (intention of the 1940 project) and creating a flow of pedestrians on the internal streets offshore.
With this, expand the narrow areas of the current square and create spaces of permanence where only circulation would be.
