Superquadra 308 Sul
SQS 308
A model residential block in Brasília's housing plan, where apartment buildings with open ground floors (pilotis) intertwine with landscape gardens by Burle Marx.
The 'superquadra' (superblock) is the core unit of Lúcio Costa's plan. Each block is enclosed by apartment buildings about six storeys high, which have open ground floors, with greenery, schools and community facilities in the middle. Superquadra 308 Sul is considered the most complete example. Its gardens were designed by Burle Marx, and you can walk freely between the buildings. Combined with a walk to the Church of Our Lady of Fatima, it makes a half-hour stroll that gives a taste of daily life for local residents.
