Complexo Cultural Luz

São Paulo, Brazil
Herzog & de Meuron

Theatre Projects began working for the Secretariat for Culture of the State of São Paulo in 2009, developing the program and assisting in architect selection to design a new home for the State Dance Company of São Paulo—a highly respected company—as well as the Music School of São Paulo.

In collaboration with the client and architect, a 205,000-square-foot arts center took shape. The project progressed through concept design and schematic design and an entire city block was cleared to make way for the facility, which was to include a 1700-seat dance theatre, 600-seat multipurpose theatre, and a 400-seat experimental theatre, rehearsal rooms, classrooms, and administrative offices. The facility continued through design development, but changes in Brazil’s political and economic climate ultimately stalled then terminated the project.
