São Paulo Lab

São Paulo Lab collaborates closely with Studio-X Rio de Janeiro to examine the urban challenges facing metropolises of the 21st century. The Studio-X global network allows the best minds from São Paulo to think together with the best minds at Columbia University and around the world to exchange ideas, technology, expertise, and culture. In the summer of 2010, São Paulo Lab and Studio-X Rio collaborated with the Netherlands Architecture Institute on professional workshops targeting regional issues – Rio on Unsolicited Architecture, São Paulo on Flooding. The workshops were further built upon and exhibited during the 2011 Bienal de Arquitetura de São Paulo focused on the theme of Architecture and Citizenship.
