The Plaza Buddies Project

2003
Office Park Complex
Computer-Aided Design

This is a project for an office park located at Ilha do Fundao, Rio de Janeiro, RJ. The main idea is to make the office buildings be animated and inviting for friendships and relationships among the members of the whole complex. The translation of this concept into architecture is done thinking about how people behave when they gather together for happy hour. In that matter, every building was given a different personality. From a basic plan drawing the structures had additions or subtraction to conform different personalities. We have in this case a building a building wearing a hat or a building sitting down, just to name a few. The complex comprises offices, retail space, auditoriums, a cable car station and a water treatment plant facility.
