Abstract

The São Paulo Water Museum project results from the national architecture competition proposed by AESabesp – Association of Engineers of Sabesp – in 2019. It is an opportunity for integration between infrastructural facilities and their utilization as a cultural space for the city. The chosen location for the museum’s implementation is the França Pinto Pumping Station and Reservoir Center, inaugurated in 1929, considered alongside its neighbors – the Biological Institute and the Museum of Contemporary Art of USP – as meaningful cultural heritage sites of our city. Its 8,000 square meters will be shared between its historical and infrastructural uses for treated water storage and pumping and public and cultural services focused on water and its developments. In addition to preserving the architectural complex, two new buildings are proposed, adapted to the remaining voids of the existing tree masses on the site. A series of walkways offer new educational and playful routes, a public passage between França Pinto Street and the Museum of Contemporary Art, and future indications of connections to the Biological Institute.
