Abstract

This paper investigates the presence of urban patterns in multifamily residential design projects in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. A selection of patterns described by Christopher Alexander and colleagues in 1977 was searched for in award winning designs published by Brazilian architectural journals. The study intends to contribute to the architectural design process by validating a number of those patterns through the investigation of nationally recognized design proposals. The design analysis relied upon Alexander’s theory, the architectural perception of the data represented in the journals and of site visits, and a questionnaire to the architects. Many of the selected patterns can be linked to concepts from phenomenology, environmental psychology and other humanistic researches. Different multifamily residential typologies were identified, as well as a number of design solutions and aspects related to a sense of urbanity: decentralization of work, identity and control of territory, household mix, balance between public and private spaces, and to a distinctive quality or life of open spaces. In a country where private property is highly valued, it is expected that good urban design proposals counteract in order to satisfy varied human needs for social interaction. The results showed that some of the analyzed designs were able to achieve that balance, suggesting a flexible use of Alexander’s patterns should be encouraged in the architectural design process.
