Edifício João Brícola, Art Deco building in Centro, Brazil.

The Edifício João Brícola, known as Prédio do Mappin, is a large building in central São Paulo designed by Elisário Bahiana, the architect also behind the Viaduto do Chá and the Jockey Club. It stands near Praça Ramos de Azevedo, on the street that carries the name of banker João Brícola, who donated half his fortune to the Santa Casa de Misericórdia.

The building was designed by Elisário Bahiana as a planned headquarters for Banco Banespa, whose directors judged the site too far from the financial centre then on Rua Direita and 15 de Novembro. Santa Casa de Misericórdia, which owned a building on Rua João Brícola, exchanged properties with the bank and became owner. The building later became known for housing the Mappin department store.

The building's popular name, Prédio do Mappin, comes from the Mappin department store that operated there and made it well known in the centre. Its official name honours the banker João Brícola, who donated half his fortune to the Santa Casa de Misericórdia, the charity that owned the site.

The building stands on Rua João Brícola, a short street off Praça Ramos de Azevedo, about 1 km from the Direita and 15 de Novembro financial district. The nearest metro access is Anhangabaú station on the line that crosses the square. The Sesc renovation begun after the 2023 sale means parts of the interior may be closed; check the exhibition space before planning a visit.

The building takes its name from banker João Brícola, who donated half his fortune to the Santa Casa de Misericórdia, the charity that owned it. In April 2023 it was sold for R$ 71.5 million to an undisclosed buyer; SESC plans a museum there, with partial reopening announced for October 2023.
