| Sumari: | This paper discusses the intense relationship between the modern skyscrapers built in downtown São Paulo from the 1930s to the 1960s and their urban space, including their permeability, the ease of access to their interior, and the layout of their architectural program. Their ground floors illustrate the freedom of their design, made possible by separating structural elements from the walls, a basic principle of modern architecture. This freedom ensured new spatial arrangements and a continuity with the building’s surroundings. Taking into account the various factors related to São Paulo urban transformation during the above period, such as opening new avenues and widening existing ones, and the downtown vertical development, one can conclude that the scale of new urban interventions were a determinant in the relationship between buildings and streets, and that these interventions also influenced the emergence of new architectural projects. This research investigates the existing legislation, and the urban and morphological aspects of the architectural projects of a period of great importance in the history of São Paulo. |
