Paulista Avenue

Teacher: Maria Silvia

The avenue was built in the beginning of the 20th century from the design of the coffee elite of State in order to have fine residence in the city.
Paulista Avenue was constructed following relatively new town planning standards for the time. A rupture with the traditional plants characterizes them.
A new small place incorporated the elements of the eclectic architecture, different styles from the architecture of diverse periods and places.
