Abstract

The Parque Anhembi is a complex intended for trade fairs, exhibitions, conventions and major sporting and cultural events in the city of São Paulo. Although considered a major hub of business tourism to national and international proportions, responsible for a fundamental transformation of this sector in São Paulo, the architectural complex is not recognized for its historical value. The realization of industry-related events in São Paulo dates back to the 1920s, passes through numerous discussions during the construction of the Pavilhão das Indústrias in Ibirapuera Park Industries in 1950, but is based on the construction of Parque Anhembi, in the 1960s, which finally establishes a program designed for the specific use of business fair. Its construction poses a number of specifics, especially about the relationships between architecture, urbanism, construction. This work aims to rescue the history of the architectural premise as having first a methodology that considers the complexity of the architectural object from 5 axes of analysis: discourse and historiography, the urban insertion and institutional design, construction and management.
