Presenting buildings with many different styles, shapes and sizes, Sao Paulo has a real outdoor cultural collection. Walking along downtown means to observe history being told through its constructions, concrete manifestations of the transformations of a village that until 1872 had little more than 30 thousand inhabitants and was restricted to the Historical Triangle (of which the vertexes are the Mosteiro de São Bento, Igreja de São Francisco and Igreja da Ordem Terceira do Carmo), until it was transformed into this current metropolis of 12 million inhabitants.
From the Pateo do Collegio, which reminds us of the colonization era, until the contemporary porch of Praça do Patriarca, passing through the stateliness of buildings such as the Municipal Theater and Altino Arantes, the tourist who arrives in Sao Paulo is easily attracted to the architecture – and a simple stroll through Sao Paulo streets already guarantees a fascinating experience.
Site of the International Biennial of Architecture (BIA), one of the main events of the segment in the world, Sao Paulo is extremely connected to the theme, and knowing the magnitude of all the buildings set throughout its extension is a task so complex as unveiling all the other secrets of this endless city.
