Article source: Urban-Think Tank Despite its central urban location, the marginalized area of Grotão within Paraisópolis is effectively separated from the formal city. Within this isolated zone, increased erosion and dangerous mudslides have designated the site as one of many high-risk zones in the city – a primarily inaccessible void in the otherwise dense urban fabric.

The Centro de Acçao Social por Música prevents further erosion and dangerous mudslides on the steep slopes and provides social and cultural infrastructure to a community which is effectively separated from the formal city. The project includes a terraced public space featuring areas for urban agriculture, a water management system, a public amphitheater, a music school, a small concert hall, sports facilities, public spaces and transport infrastructure. Urban-Think Tank was recently awarded the Silver Global Holcim Award for Sustainable Construction (2012), and the Gold Latin America Holcim Award (2011) for the Centro de Acçao Social por Música.
