Introduction

Ibirapuera Park is São Paulo's largest city park, built in 1954 for the city's 400th anniversary and often called "São Paulo's Central Park." Among open lawns, lakes and shaded paths sit a group of modernist buildings by the famous architect Oscar Niemeyer—the São Paulo Bienal pavilion, the Modern Art Museum and an airy white canopy walkway. The park is an oasis for running, cycling, picnics and exhibitions, busiest on weekends with open-air music and cultural events. Blending greenery, art and architecture, it is a pleasant breathing space in noisy São Paulo.
