Biselli Katchborian Arquitetos as Architects

The Center of Arts and Education of Pimentas is located in Guarulhos, in Pimentas neighborhood, a place with few community equipment directed to education, leisure and sports.


The project is configured in a line, materialized in a large metallic roof that houses in its longitudinal borders different uses, articulated by a void which culminates in central area dedicated to sportive use. The aquatic complex is located outside this axis, in external area. The plain topography and the site linear configuration were determinant for the architectural parti.


The various uses are distributed in blocks, in cast-in-place concrete and pre-cast concrete. Library, classrooms and refectory are located in the west side of the axis. On the opposite site, are located the volumes of classrooms, artistic gymnastics, dance and auditoriums. The central void is the square. Without a program previously defined, articulates the programs around, through sugested pathways and bridges on the first floor, and allows various uses along their seats and free spaces. The colors chosen to the inner facades (witch variates from yellow to green) contribute to the diversity and ludic atmosphere of this inner square.
