Sao Paulo

Sao Paulo was once the fastest growing city in the world and for the earlier part of the 20th century, a prototype of future urban development; Made up of hundreds of generic high-rise blocks that seemed to go on forever, so similar in appearance, size and repetition, there didn’t seem to be any coherent planning. "Skyscrapers are springing up overnight 'like mushrooms' in an utterly disorganised regime of development." Walter Gropius Sao Paulo is a patchwork quilt of patterns, shapes and colour and I wanted to incorporate these elements to find an order and an identity in this chaotic megacity.
