From the classic Copan building to the urban quilombo Aparelha Luzia […]
Amid the proliferation of micro-apartments, in buildings of dubious taste, São Paulo still retains addresses that reinforce the architectural talent of the largest city in South America.
To celebrate the 470th anniversary of the city of São Paulo, three architects/designers have chosen their favorite places from the point of view of their profession, from the classic Copan building to the Aparelha Luzia, cultural center and urban quilombo, in Campos Elíseos.
“Here [em São Paulo] we find styles ranging from colonial, to modern, to contemporary. The best thing is that nothing boils down to the obvious, you just have to pay attention,” describes interior designer Mariana Ribeiro.

art Gallery
(Praça da Luz, 2 – Light)
by Mariana Ribeiro, interior designer
This building in central São Paulo was founded in 1905 and houses a collection of works spanning different eras and styles. Its impressive architecture, designed by Ramos de Azevedo, is more than a visual experience, it is a space that invites contemplation and reflection.
“It’s the place I like to go when I can take an architecture-focused tour. The complex is a neoclassical construction with large windows, doors, pillars and porches. It also has a rustic modernity with exposed brick and areas with large roofing of natural light. The metal walkways and translucent roofs also provide a counterpoint of incredible visual comfort. A great tour option that showcases the strength of São Paulo’s architecture.”
