Summary:

The book documents records and memorializes a moment in the transformation of the building that once housed the São Paulo Jockey Club School. The Jockey Club was itself, as of its construction, was a major driver of the city's development beyond the Pinheiro River. Designed by the architect Henri Sajous, the building of the São Paulo Jockey Club School was erected in 1952 to serve the children of members and employees of the São Paulo's turf club. After the end of the Jockey School, the building would house other educational institutions and would host parties, events and filming. Recently, after almost a decade of abandonment, the building was declared a public heritage and will be revitalized through the installation of a cultural center - in a project signed by Paulo Mendes da Rocha. This book presents a photo essay by Carol Quintanilha, who registers the building before the intervention, showing how he kept the marks of its history and uses, and texts about its insertion in the turbulent urban fabric of the marginal Pinheiros. After all, the corner of the city designed to be a non-placeʺ, as Fernando Serapião, author of one of the texts in the volume, notes, is about to see itself transformed into a placeʺ. They also collaborate in the São Paulo Jockey Club School Building Silvio Oksman, Marina Frúgoli and Mauro Calliari. Fernando Serapião is an architect at Mackenzie University, an architecture critic and founder and editor of Monolito magazine, as well as the author of more than a dozen books on the subject. Silvio Oksman, architect at FAU-USP and professor, was a representative of IAB-SP at Condephaat and Conpresp and is coordinator of the Scientific Committee for the Preservation of the 20th Century Heritage of Icomos Brasil. Marina Frúgoli is a curator and architect at FAU-USP. Mauro Calliari, business administrator and doctor in urbanism at FAU-USP, is the author of the book Espaço Público e urbanidade em São Paulo and of the blog Caminhadas Urbanas, from the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo.
