The lines of São Paulo’s buildings are a mixture of architectural trends from key periods in Brazilian history, from colonial-style houses and churches built before the 19th century to the art deco and art nouveau French influence of the early 20th century, from 1920s skyscrapers to the modernist style of the 1930s and post-modernism. Today, mirrored skyscrapers with futuristic characteristics predominate. Some of the city’s best known architectural gems are the Sacred Art Museum, with its classic colonial style, the French influenced Júlio Prestes Station and Viaduto do Chá or Tea Viaduct, the modernist São Paulo Art Museum and the Oca Exhibit Hall in Ibirapuera Park, the high tech buildings in the Berrini and Vila Olímpia districts, as well as the landmark Copam and Banespa buildings.
