Abstract

The Bus Terminal of Jaú was designed by architect João Batista Vilanova Artigas in 1973 and it is distinctive for its ingenious structural solution and for its precise insertion into the urban fabric. Starting from the study of the relationship between the building and the city, the research has been extended to fifteen projects that Artigas has created in Jaú during the period of ten years. Interesting to note is that these years corresponded to his increased involvement with projects of urban character, despite his forced retirement from the University by the military dictatorship. Organized in two basic readings The design of the Floor and The design of the Ceiling this thesis also analyzes other projects created by Artigas since the beginning of his professional activities, in an attempt to understand the synthesis found in the project of the Bus Terminal of Jaú.
