History
Performing for almost three decades
Founded in 1992, Dal Pian Arquitetos was born as a natural result of Lilian and Renato Dal Pian’s various years of professional activity in Europe, in the cities of London and Milan.
Upon returning to São Paulo, the practice has quickly gained visibility through awards in design competitions. The first one was granted for revitalizing the city center in Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais in 1994 (2ndplace), followed by 1stplaces for Reurbanizing Penha Neighborhood in São Paulo; Sanasa Cultural Center in Campinas; Sanitation Museum in São Paulo; the new unit of Sesc Guarulhos; Natura administrative headquarters in São Paulo (Nasp); the Events and Cultural Center in Paraty; and the Multifunctional Complex next to the Central Campus of Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas (PUCC).
The constant success in architectural competitions, both public and by invitation, as well as the performance in various scales and themes of architecture, have become tradition. The same could be said about the constant technical investigation and ongoing research, elements that have consolidated the thinking foundation for the philosophy of Dal Pian Arquitetos today: rigor and sensibility.
Experiencing academic environment has also been a relevant factor when constituting our philosophy: Lilian Dal Pian taught at the Faculty of Architecture of PUC Campinas, and Renato Dal Pian was, for almost two decades, professor in the Department of Architecture Projects at Mackenzie University in São Paulo.
Expressive results achieved by Dal Pian Arquitetos have also derived from the constant pursuit for excellence by our team of collaborators.
