Abstract

The work studies the idea that the construction of a set of reservoirs to retain and regulate rainwater runoff in São Paulo, known as “piscinões network”, can be converted into an opportunity for the spread of a structuring system in the periphery, if it is linked with the other sectorial policies. This action demands the configuration of referential images within the cityscape, redefining programs while constructing places suited to urban life, imparting a dwelling value to the constructed space.
