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.

Gender. Hysteria. Architecture. | “When Did Care Become Confinement?”

Was architecture used by the society to spatially “manage” women and their autonomy? Aditi A., through her research study, examines the period before psychiatry, when fear had already become architectural, tracing how women’s autonomy was spatially managed through domestic regulation, witch hunts, informal confinement, and early institutional planning.

A Modernist’s Doubt: Symbolism and the Late Career Turn

Why did acclaimed modernist architects suddenly introduce historical symbolism like arches, decorative elements, and other cultural references into their work after decades of disciplined restraint? Sudipto Ghosh interrogates this 1980s-90s symbolic turn as a rupture in architecture, questioning whether this represents an authentic reconnection with content and memory, or is it a mere superficial gesture towards absent meanings. Drawing from Heidegger’s analysis of the Greek temple, he distinguishes two modes of architectural representation, ultimately judging that this turn was a nascent rebellion against modernism that may have failed to achieve genuine integration of context, material, and memory.
