Santos, Vânia Mara Alves Lima2026-08-03 20:32:56https://vocabularios.eca.usp.br/vcaa/Vocabulário Colaborativo em Artes e Arquiteturatext/html With the aim of occupying and revitalizing the site formerly occupied by the São Paulo House of Detention, one of the buildings of the new Youth Park, designed by Aflalo & Gasperini Architects, houses the São Paulo Library, a project developed in 2009. The building, inaugurated in 2010, was inspired by the concept of the Santiago Public Library in Chile. Featuring a structural system composed of twenty columns and ten beams spaced every 10 meters, the building consists of a ground floor that accommodates the reception area, collection, auditorium, and reading modules. The terrace on this level is covered by a tensile structure reminiscent of “nautical tents.”
