Abstract
This paper explores the contribution of Italo-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi in creating a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable urbanism. After providing a brief biographical overview, the essay examines some of the themes that influenced Bo Bardi’s career, such as her provocative reflections on feminism and her interest and fascination with the “deep Brazil” arising from her stay in the city of Bahia. The central argument of the work is that, adopting the SESC Pompéia Factory Leisure Center as a case study, Bo Bardi developed a distinctive and original conception of the urban project. Distancing herself from the postulates of modern urbanism, Bo Bardi’s ideas and design focused on activating public space through activities and events aimed at strengthening community ties. Under this new paradigm, the notion of “street” is reinterpreted and continually changes. Alternately or simultaneously, the streets of SESC Pompéia can function as outdoor and indoor spaces, ground-level and elevated walkways, sun terraces, and stages for performances. Bo Bardi conceived SESC Pompéia as a “citadel of freedom,” promoting the possibility of a more inclusive, equitable, multifunctional, and innovative urban experience for all.
