It can be said that the way to understand the architectural program in SESC Pompéia has to do with a way to be in town and occupying public spaces or collective, almost an exercise in "micro-urbanism". The project is planned as aggregation; the context is understood as debris on which it intervenes.
In this project Lina Bo Bardi decided to keep most of the complex as it was to preserve the characteristics of the place. In order to maintain existing spatial qualities on the site, the architect focused placing objects freely within the space.
