Tendal da Lapa, Cultural center in Lapa District, São Paulo, Brazil.

Tendal da Lapa is a cultural center in the Lapa district housed in a concrete building with pre-molded elements and metal trusses. The structure features horizontal lines and several entrances designed to accommodate diverse programming and public services.

The building was constructed in 1938 by the JP Urner company as a meat storage and distribution facility for São Paulo's meat industry. It served this purpose until the 1970s before being repurposed as a public cultural space.

The name "Tendal" refers to the drying sheds where meat was once aired, and the site's first cultural incarnation was called "A Fábrica dos Sonhos" (The Dream Factory). Since 1989 the Grupo de Teatro Pequeno has staged a "cultural invasion" of the old building, and today volunteer teachers run free theater, dance, music and sports workshops. The cultural center's entrance is on Rua Constança, separate from the subprefecture's entrance on Rua Guaicurus.

The facility is accessible and houses both cultural programs and municipal services in a single location. Visitors will find multiple entrances useful for accessing different areas and activities within the center.

The 2007 Conpresp listing was signed while José Eduardo de Assis Lefévre chaired the council, which judged the complex a work of singular character. The protection covers the old slaughterhouse's structural features, which may be adapted only if the buildings are not stripped of their character.
