Sadly it seems this complex of buildings - Wikipedia says it was the Sao Paulo Automobile Club - seems to have been replaced with skyscrapers
Peter: 13th Aug 2009 - 13:05 GMT
wow, nice! ive never seen any of those buildings... my perception of what brasil looks like starts with brasilia at about this point in time and moves forward in a mostly modern point of view, hahaha... good job, franny. thanks for these...

That's great Franny!
I have something on pictures number 2,3 and 4 here. Teatro Municipal and Vale do Anhangabaú.

Pic number 8: "Mosteiro de São Bento", at the bottom. today
Pic number 13: That building on the right is the "Edifício Martinelli" ... it's amazing.
Last Pic: "Edifício Altino Arantes". Where I shot the City Centre - Rooftops series.
And yes, this complex no longer exists
Palacete Prates (Automóvel Club)
It was demolished in the 50's ... for this
Paper Crystals: 13th Aug 2009 - 15:01 GMT
WOW, you guys have made a country and a city that I know practically nothing about come to life right in front of me on the page. Viva Brasil!
Franny Wentzel: 13th Aug 2009 - 17:29 GMT
If you note the circled buildings in these two pix you can figure out the relationship between the two images...
