/Tribunal de Contas do Município de São Paulo

This building, of an institutional nature, was the subject of an architecture competition to which seven architects from São Paulo were invited, with the design by the Croce Aflalo & Gasperini office being selected.

The basic concept of the adopted solution was to place great emphasis on the symbolic function of the Court. For this, the building was isolated from the land, raising it ten meters above ground level.

The 70-metre-long volume is supported by just four supports, which are the vertical circulation structural cores, with 17-metre overhangs. In this way, a large free space was created at ground level, forming a large esplanade connected to the sports sector in the neighboring area, continuing the free space of Ibirapuera Park.
