SESC Pompeia

One of the most interesting buildings in São Paulo is the SESC Pompeia, designed by the architect Lina Bo Bardi in the early 1980s. SESC is this quasi-union organization and has these recreation & cultural centers scattered across São Paulo. They clearly have a lot of money because the buildings are immaculate and interesting.The center in the neighborhood of Pompei is a recycled factory, altho the two concrete stuctures with the walkways were built new for the center.

Hi. I'm a 32 year-old American currently living in Buenos Aires. Before that I lived in California, Sao Paulo and New York and if you browse through the archives below you can see photos of all those places. I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures.
