Art in residences becomes trend; Planeta Square Garden installs 7-ton sculpture by Sorocaba architect Guto Requena.
Humanizing architecture
The “Encontros” sculpture occupies Planeta Square Garden square. It blends technology, art, and urban furniture. Thus, it creates identity and warmth.
The area stays open to the public. It offers rest and social interaction. On the other hand, it boosts property value.
Market trend
Art interventions soften facades and common areas. Sorocaba joins with this installation. In this way, it raises urban life quality.
“This sculpture reinforces affective urbanism and art in city routines.”
Caio Fernandes, from Construtora Planeta, notes its urban kindness symbol.
Work details
Guto Requena digitally modeled it in corten steel. The material endures and patinas over time. Meanwhile, it features Tupi words from Peabiru Path.
The inspiration narrates city arrival. “The work speaks of memory and belonging”, says Requena. Therefore, it becomes a photo and gathering landmark.
