Ibirapuera Auditorium is a key feature of Ibirapuera Park, a large public green space in the city. Designed by Oscar Niemeyer, one of Brazil’s most renowned architects, the impressive white trapezoid structure contrasts with its leafy surroundings. Wander through the scenic park and notice the bright red roof over the auditorium’s entrance that juts out from the structure like a tongue.
