Os edifícios de escritórios na cidade de São Paulo: transformações e tipologias

Abstract

During the 20th century, the city of São Paulo grew up, became into a great metropolis, modified its main economic activity from the secondary sector of industry to the tertiary sector - and developed a complex and varied net of services. These modifications were so important that currently the city is well known as the Brazilian capital of the services and became one of the greatest metropolis of the globalised world. In this context, an architectural typology focused on the work has become important at the city scene: the office buildings. As much as the city has changed, the office buildings have become important and have also changed. This master s thesis will be developed through the analysis of these typology transformations, in the world and in the city of São Paulo, and the study of their most relevant buildings.
