Architecture Alive: The Copan Building, located in the center of the city of São Paulo in Brasil, and designed by the legendary Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, is a world architecture icon, and a portrait of Brazilian society. More than 5,000 residents, of all social, cultural, ethnic and economic levels live in its 1,160 apartments.
