Tuesday:
After learning the subway metro system yesterday, I went a little further out and took a 4th train to see another Lina Bo Bardi building / complex...SESC Pompeiia.
This complex houses a library, gallery, theater, restaurant-cafe, and an amazing complex for sports. The cultural program are housed in what appear to be typical warehouses--sawtooth skylights, long bays-- with a central drive between another row of warehouses. Inserted into these larger spaces are little set pieces by Bo Bardi for the library, the theater, the galleries, and such.
Beyond is sports complex--two towers, one an existing storage facility and the other is new by Bo Bardi. In the storage side are large, open air gymnasiums, basket ball courts, and a swimming pool on the street level, while the new addition houses changing rooms, and smaller spaces dedicated to lifting weights, yoga, etc. She connects the two buildings with open air bridges and what is produced is an exciting space of observation of persons and the city beyond.
