Cidade Matarazzo – Torre Rosewood, São Paulo, by Ateliers Jean Nouvel

“Like a tree, a tower should have roots. It is part of a geography, a terrain, a topography, the soil, a specific geology. As an expression of the built environment, it is the easiest to read at a distance.”
Jean Nouvel

Mirroring the energy and heritage of Brazil, Rosewood São Paulo is a metropolitan oasis located at Cidade Matarazzo, a complex of elegantly preserved buildings from the early 20th century converted into a mixed-use destination in the heart of the city. Anchoring the lifestyle hub, the Rosewood São Paulo occupies one of the area’s few remaining historical landmark buildings and a striking new vertical garden tower by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel with interiors by visionary designer Philippe Starck. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and lush greenery, Rosewood São Paulo offers guests sophisticated and diverse dining options, a jazz bar, and leisure amenities – such as two outdoor pools and Asaya, a comprehensive well-being concept, and a state-of-the-art fitness area.

“Matarazzo Park will have invaded a tower. Let’s make one thing clear. The park tower will be regal and welcoming – and it will be much looked at and envied. In its own distinctive way, it will say: follow me, live in style. Around Matarazzo at first, then a bit farther afield, trees will begin to mount their assault on the city.”
Jean Nouvel

Rosewood São Paulo is proposed as a high-rise residential and hotel tower which is 93 meters (300 ft.) high. The 5-star hotel program includes 104 rooms & 124 owners’ suites, a spa, a fitness centre and a private penthouse.

Architecture, Power, and the Poor | “As a profession, architecture lacks moral position and has become complicit in the neoliberal dispossession of the poor.”—Vivek Rawal

Vivek Rawal argues that architecture—as a profession—is structurally aligned with political and economic power rather than social justice. He critiques how architectural education and practice prioritise developers and real estate over communities, turning housing into a market commodity. Even movements like sustainability and participation, he says, often become tools for elite consumption rather than genuine empowerment. True moral reform, according to Rawal, would mean architects relinquishing control and enabling community-led design and housing decisions.

Gender. Hysteria. Architecture. | What Might Care Look Like If It Were Not Afraid of Women?

What kinds of spaces exist where women can breathe without being watched? If hysteria no longer exists as a diagnosis, why does its architecture remain? Aditi A., through her research study as a part of the CEPT Writing Architecture course, in the third and last chapter of this series follows the spatial logics that developed to manage hysteria, which continue in the contemporary environments of care safety, and everyday life. If the diagnosis has been discredited, what explains the persistence of its walls?
