An afternoon walking around the neighborhood Higienópolis in São Paulo. Many friends recommended visiting to see some of the famous architecture from the 1950s & 1960s here. My friend Rafael gave me a great tour of his apartment building, the Edifício Parque das Hortênsias designed by Brazilian architect João Artacho Jurado. (The photos above taken from the roof show this building). Jurado designed many of the buildings in this area, giving them all his distinctive look, colors & lines. Such a great area to walk around and gawk at the architecture & design.

A google image search for “Artacho Jurado” will show you many more great views of these buildings.
