Accessibility
CASACOR São Paulo 2022 comemora seus 35 anos no Conjunto Nacional. (Ulisses Agnelli/CASACOR)
Since 2016,
CASACOR São Paulo has been a 100% accessible event for people with reduced mobility. This is the result of ongoing work, which began in the 2005 edition, when the first adjustments were made to the circulation areas to comply with federal decree no. 5,296. , of 2004, which determined the gradual adoption of accessibility measures in public buildings. In 2006, CASACOR entered into a partnership with the
Special Secretariat for People with Disabilities and Reduced Mobility (Seped) with the aim of presenting the concepts and technical standards related to the subject to the professionals in the cast. That same year, for the first time, The Permanent Accessibility Committee (CPA) analyzes all the exhibition projects in advance and proposes the necessary adaptations, a fact that would be repeated in the following editions.
(Salvador Cordaro/CASACOR)
The awareness and support of architects, interior designers and landscapers, combined with constant monitoring by the event management, has led CASACOR to evolve to its current stage, where accessibility is naturally incorporated into the environments, making the show a fluid and comfortable experience for different types of audiences. This year, the event is partnering with architect
Silvana Cambiaghi, from Design Universal Consultoria , and has adopted a new measure to serve those with mobility difficulties:
all bathrooms have accessible cabins, in addition to being unisex. There is also a series of of amenities aimed at the visually and hearing impaired, such as a tactile map in Braille, tactile floor paths, a real-time sign language translation application -
developed by the Association of Metro Friends of the Exceptional - and specially prepared guided tours.
Sustainability and Social Impact
A fundamental part of CASACOR's DNA,
sustainability continues to be not only the biggest trend in the segment, but the driving force behind the entire show, which has reached surprising levels with its waste management program. Implemented since 2016, the program has overcome several stages , which included raising awareness among work teams and cast architects, to achieve the 99.3% mark of waste reuse. In addition to adopting measures such as dry construction, saving and reusing water resources, energy saving, selective collection, recycling program and proper disposal of waste, promoting the circular economy, the show also donates construction materials resulting from the dismantling of the event. for NGOs.

offset 100% of its carbon emissions , in addition to having

Estou Refugiado Institute , CASACOR will hire receptionists to work in the exhibition spaces. In addition, there will also be a mural, part of the
Colors of the World project, which has been
gaining space in the world of arts.
Lavi Kosongo , a Congolese artist who fled his country due to the war, presents a 22-meter panel, which will be part of the project for
Pedro Luis de Marqui 's Caracol bar and will also bring life to the space created by the duo
