The initiative is between local government and the Fundação Roberto Marinho, and does activities that involve fundraising, registering, research, preservation, and the creation of cultural goods to the community. The entire architectural plan was organized by Jacobsen Arquitetura, with ideas made by three main architects: Paulo Jacobsen, Bernardo Jacobsen, and Thiago Bernardes. The primary goal of the project was to establish a flow system where everything would function in an integrated and efficient manner, together with the creation of the Escola do Olhar, an arts and culture development space.
