The center of São Paulo is one of the places in the world where urban density is among the strongest and most intense. A region where the beauty of the streets and buildings was forgotten for many years. In this area, a building from the 1920s, which was once occupied by the Light electricity company, has been requalified. The Red Bull Station Cultural Center plays an important role in the rehabilitation of the downtown area of the city.

Located in Praça da Bandeira, the new cultural center connects the arts through the production and dissemination of new forms of artistic expression.

The building has been completely renovated, respecting architectural heritage concepts. A contemporary intervention was carried out to adapt the building to its new role as a cultural space. However, the essence of the historical building was preserved, and the beauty of its elements was enhanced.

An architectural element was created to guide visitors along their journey, from the stairs to the top of the fifth floor of the Red Bull Station, passing through its interior. Above the building's roof "floats" a metal canopy called "the leaf," which partially covers the terrace and creates a space.

There is a pillar that appears as the starting point, from which the Center will spread the various forms of art it houses.

On one side of the ground floor is the main gallery, a space that hosts exhibitions of all forms of visual arts, performances, and concerts. On the other side is a carefully sculpted and polished concrete volume, designed to house a music recording studio.

The basement has been transformed into an exhibition and music rehearsal space. On the first floor, six studios were created for the artistic residencies that change every quarter. Surrounding the individual studios, the "transition gallery" is an experimental workspace that will temporarily host projects created in these studios during their development process.

During its first life, the station used a water-based cooling system to cool the transformers. This long-dormant system was reactivated, returning water to the station. The "leaf" on the roof collects rainwater, reconstructs its original course to the tank in the basement, and flows out through the fountain on the roof. This injection of liquid energy, no longer electricity, brings new life to the station. It resonates throughout its surroundings, in the city.
