Ibirapuera Auditorium designed by Oscar Niemeyer located in Ibirapuera Park in São Paulo to allow musical spectacle presentations. The Auditoriums constriction began in 2002 and was completed by 2005 consisted of 7,000 square feet. The auditorium has been a host for grammies, fashion shows, Americas top model, and many more. When the building was designed it was meant to have possessed volumetric simplicity being made by a single block formed into a trapezoid, which ended up becoming a triangle.

One of the main reasons I chose this building is it caught my attention with the long red mental piece just sticking out of the side. The long red mental piece is actually a marquee, and it is a metal that is painted red. It actually covers the main access of the building and is what gives identity to the building. The metal piece characterizes it and shows it is different from other buildings. The form and color of this piece of the  building have transformed the branding of the auditorium and act as an architectural logo. which it is called officially the Labareda – Portuguese for flame.

It amazes me that such a simple and plain piece of metal can give a building so much meaning, so much purpose and so much character. But it does make sense since the when I first saw the building thats what stood out to me. Its amazing what Oscar Niemeyer did to put so much meaning into something so small.
