Berrini is the new financial area of Sao Paulo. Photo credits go to brazilian forumers at SSC Guttoo, Kashramm, tchello and RRC and are all available at threads in SSS Brazil.

bridge looks good but overall pretty poor and not very exciting would have thought more big name architects would have been involved ?

Its not bad at all, but a lot of the buildings look very bland and the streetscape isn't great.

stunning... if only just one city in the UK had anything close to something like that

If only they had that in Churchill Place.

In fact, sod that, Gunwharf Quays!

Ahhhh.........we can dream.

Never gonna happen though is it. et:

At a stroke that would probably tripple the amount of office space in the city center.

Very nice bridge btw.

Absolutely!

Wasnt going to comment until some of these posts appeared! Errr so you are all salvating over pretty base architecture and really really bad masterplanning? The bridge is great though. The rest I wouldnt know if I was in the dull area of Lahore, LA, Delhi, Jakarta or Reading or Birmingham.

 

[Pompey77]

or Birmingham

Well thats just asking for trouble.

I agree with you though. I dont think it looks like a very hopitable place for pedestrians and the buildings are textbook bad postmodernism but i do like what Ill Tonkso quoted and the bridge is fab.

Exactly. It´s a shame that nothing in London or elsewhere in the UK can compare to Berrini.

Canary Wharf and the City in London, even if put togheter, wouldn´t be able to compare to Berrini.

if it is all about making shadows. Then yes I guess you are right.

The bridge reminds me of the zakim bridge in Boston

The buildings look good too, nothing spectacular but they work well together with good massing

 

[jayo]

I'm sorry

But what is the big deal about this place-The tower blocks appear to be made out of Lego.Tower blocks don't make a city.None of them are particalury tall anyway.And besides,the tallest building is 170 metres and was completed in the 1960s(and thats the tallest building in brazil).London could beat this tackynes anyday...

Edited the swear-words out

 

[BeestonLad]

Londons overall skyline is crap IMO opinion because its too spread out, even with all the new stuff proposed it wont be nearly as good as it would if it was all clustered together

 

[potto]

true but that is neither here nor there
