What makes a space truly inhabited? CASACOR São Paulo 2026 sets out to find the answer through the Diálogos CASACOR series, a cycle of conversations that invites professionals from architecture, landscaping, and visual arts to reflect on the affections, territories, memories, and ancestralities that define our relationship with the home. Held at the Arena do Conhecimento, a space supported by Lar Center, the lecture cycle reinforces the brand's commitment to fostering relevant debates about architecture, design, culture, and innovation, promoting encounters that bring the public closer to major names in the sector.
With six meetings scheduled between June and August, the Diálogos aim to broaden the debate on contemporary living. The program covers themes ranging from the naturalist aesthetic of landscaping to the role of craftsmanship and popular art in the construction of an affective home, passing through the increasingly porous boundary between art and architecture — and reaching speculation about possible futures of living, at the crossroads between organic intelligence and artificial intelligence. The lectures are open to visitors of the exhibition through a ticket reservation made at the online box office.
What exists in a space, beyond what the eyes can reach? Between memory, affection, territory, and ancestrality, this conversation proposes a reflection on the invisible forces that permeate our relationship with the world and with the places we call our own. Because, before we inhabit spaces, we are inhabited by stories, bonds, and knowledge.
Moderation: Alê Salles.
Guests: Eduardo Baldelomar, Leandro Karaí, Hugo Ribas, and Michelle Worthon.
How to bring life and new uses to listed properties? Is there a certain tension between the technical-preservationist view and the future of the historic property? The suggestion is to foster the debate, based on some cases where the private initiative seeks to preserve listed heritage, requalifying and adapting it to new functions, such as Alma Mater, the residential building in Ipiranga, which emerges in the former novitiate of the Salesian sisters. Another example comes from businessman Allan Ruiz. He bought a property in the old downtown, without knowing that it was a historic building, constructed by the Ramos de Azevedo office. The space will be transformed into a cultural center.
Moderation: Darlan Firmato.
Guests: Marcelo Salum, Allan Ruiz, and Anna Beatriz Ayroza Galvão.
The intention of this meeting is to address the naturalist aesthetic, based on the reading of the country's biomes, to compose urban landscapes and residential landscaping.
Moderation: Benedito Abbud.
Guests: Maria Fernanda Marques, Ana Lui, and Daniel Nunes.
How surrounding yourself with handcrafted work, popular art, craftsmanship, and objects of sentimental value can bring comfort and identity to the home.
Moderation: Pedro Ariel.
Guests: Mauricio Arruda and Zizi Carderari.
What emerges when Organic Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence meet? This dialogue traverses past and present to speculate about possible futures of living and about new ways of imagining and designing architecture.
Moderation: Marina Lacerda.
Guests: to be confirmed.
An architectural interpretation of the Atlantic Forest landscapes of southeastern Brazil and the identification of the different styles that can be applied in landscaping. A reflection on breaking aesthetic stereotypes in Brazilian landscaping, and on the belief that native flora in gardens has only an ecological function.
Presentation: Pamela Faccin.
Art has always built relationships with the spaces it occupies. Throughout the 20th century, avant-garde artistic movements and contemporary art itself expanded the limits of art and its relationship with everyday life. What happens when the work leaves the exhibition space and starts to inhabit the home, creating new relationships and new meanings.
Moderation: Ana Clara Schick.
Guests: João Panaggio, Lurdinha Piquet, and Maria Antonia.
