Pinacoteca de Estado in São Paulo

Outline
An unfinished art school building built at the end of the 19th century was converted into an art museum. While retaining the exposed brick walls, the entire building was covered with a glass roof to create a bright exhibition space. A newly constructed steel passageway running through the air in the interior creates a new line of flow and at the same time creates a strong contrast in materiality with the brick walls.
