Alexandre Delijaicov
professor at FAU-USP, coordinator of LABPROJ-FAUUSP, architect of São Paulo City Hall.

The seminar series aims to discuss the architecture of large-scale infrastructure in Brazil focusing on the design of regional waterways—their geography, narrative and manifestation (past, present, future). As a project, the architecture of waterways draws horizontal and vertical relations between infrastructure and landscape, politics and space from local to cross-national levels. The two seminar sessions will discuss the infrastructure project as a figure of modernity and its socio-ecological consequences (intents, translations and transpositions), with cases in São Paulo and the Amazon.
