| Scattered around São Paulo are empty cadavers of buildings, abandoned mid-construction. This one sits on the Marginal Pinheiros in Vila Olimpia, next to the newly opened luxury emporium Daslu. From a distance you can see clear through each floor to the sky beyond. It's presence seems almost spectral, altho until I get permission to shoot from the top of a nearby building, the photos above will have to suffice. Update:I just found an aerial photo of this site of Flickr. Update 2: According to my friend Cesar, this was to be the headquarters of ElectroPaulo, the local utility company. When the company was privatized, the new owners smartly realized the project made no economic sense and promptly halted it.
