The Edifício Copan, or just Copan, is one of the most important and emblematic buildings in the city of São Paulo, located at number 200 Avenida Ipiranga, in the city center, and was inaugurated in 1966. It is one of the symbols of modern Brazilian architecture, designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer with structural design by engineer Joaquim Cardozo, aiming to celebrate the Fourth Centenary of the city of São Paulo. The work, however, only began in 1957, with some changes and carried out with the help of Carlos Lemos.
