Today is 40k, with reform 45k. You may think it's little to a team of this dimension, but it fits well afterall. It's an area dedicated to football only. The place is also famous for hosting Latin America's largest football museum.

Who did this project?

The name of the architect wasnt mentioned yet, only that the project was made by the Sports Office from Sao Paulo municipal government. It's still depending on the approval of Sao Paulo mayor Gilberto Kassab who's meant to present his answer in 60 days. I believe that after this term, it will be revealed aswell as better shots and all. This is just a sketch.

The Paula Machado de Carvalho Stadium even after this reconstruction is the Soldier Field of Brazil.

It's strange. It looks like they won't touch the exterior facades on behind-the-goal ends but the ground is turned into rectangular from oval after the renovation. I don't figure out how they can do it.

If you look at the end stand on the Western part of the stadium (from the last pic, the one which is separate from the rest of the ground) it is large single tier structure which is quite a bit higher than the other stands. In the renders, that stand has become two tiered, with the lower section larger than the 2nd one, meaning it fits in with the rest of the stadium. The renders suggests to me that they'll demolish that end stand and move it eastwards by a significant amount, perhaps up to where the current goal is. This would mean the pitch would also move eastwards and thus be a lot closer to both end stands. You can’t see the other end, but I would guess it would keep its curved shaped (a little bit like the Camp Nou). Even though 45,000 isn’t that big by European club standards, this is still, if filled, about double the amount of the league’s average attendance. It also looks like there is room to expand later on.
