Try to find new spaces transform and enhance existing, encouraging a building becomes alive .

"Going for the first time to the then abandoned drums Pompeia Factory, in 1976, I was curious enough, in view of an eventual recovery of the local leisure center, were those sheds rationally distributed under British projects of early European industrialization, of mid-nineteenth century. Although what I loved was the precursor elegant concrete structure.
The second time I was there, a Saturday, the atmosphere was another: there was more plush, secluded Hennebiqueana structure, but cheerful audience of children, mothers, elderly parents and passing a flag to another. Children ran, played youth football in the rain that fell from the roofs broken, laughing, chutes giving the ball in the water. I returned many times, Saturday and Sunday trying to fix those cheerful popular scenes”. Lina Bo Bardi
