Abstract

In this article we present allegorical car projects for the São Paulo carnival samba school parade, between the years 2010 and 2024. The objective is to reflect on the development of this type of work amid the contingencies of resources and of infrastructure in the lower divisions of the São Paulo carnival. The sources used are sketches, drawings and photographic records relating to the conception, elaboration and execution of the allegories. We seek, from design activity, to demonstrate ways of facing challenges and present responses that are common to design activities in the field of arts, design and architecture.
