An Oscar Niemeyer project, one of his key works from when he designed the Ibirapuera park with landscape architect Burle Marx. A fully concrete, revolutionary building. Truly impressive as there is no central column holding it up; the ramps inside are really cool. It is also nice to walk around to see the other cool Niemeyer's buildings at Ibirapuera Park.
