Andraus Building, Modernist skyscraper in República district, São Paulo, Brazil.
The Andraus Building reaches 115 meters into the São Paulo skyline with 32 floors of concrete and glass construction at Avenida São João.
Completed in 1962 by architect Majer Botkowski, this building experienced a devastating fire in 1972 that resulted in significant changes to Brazilian building safety regulations.
The structure represents São Paulo's rapid urbanization period of the 1960s when the city transformed into a major South American commercial center.
The building now serves as office space for municipal and federal government departments, with multiple entrances and security checkpoints throughout the premises.
During the 1972 fire, survivors reached safety by accessing the roof instead of using emergency stairs, leading to modifications in high-rise evacuation protocols.
