Something special is happening in downtown São Paulo. In post-pandemic Vila Buarque, one of the Brazilian metropolis' central neighbourhoods, some of São Paulo’s most iconic landmarks are receiving the sort of facelift that has revived the city’s love affair with the 1950s and 1960s, Brazil’s golden age of music, football and architecture.
At the centre of this urban revival is a talented team of architects, handpicked by trendsetting property developer Planta Inc, which is on a mission to restore the city’s midcentury modernist architecture icons to their previous pomp.
