Abstract
© 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Ramps are elements of vertical circulation adopted in modern architecture and that allow for the creation of a fluid and continuous spaces, both visually and formally. Among the design strategies employed by Vilanova Artigas, one that stands out is the adoption of ramps to bring these concepts into his projects. This text presents the results of the research that has analyzed the projects and works with ramps designed by Vilanova Artigas through the study of texts written by the architect, visits and photographs, investigative drawings, geometric and graphic analysis, physical and digital models, relating theory and design in the modern period of Brazilian São Paulo architecture. The research has found that the ramps are presented not only as vertical circulation elements but as a part of the architectural program, as an additional environment in Vilanova Artigas’ work that promotes and encourages meetings and coexistence, in addition to materializing concepts inherent to Modern Architecture. The geometry of the ramps in the residential work of Artigas materializes concepts of his architecture and follows in constructive harmony with the adoption of reinforced concrete.
