Ibirapuera Auditorium, Concert hall in Ibirapuera Park, Brazil.
Ibirapuera Auditorium is a concert hall in Ibirapuera Park featuring white concrete walls and a trapezoidal floor plan. The structure rises with a triangular cross-section that stands out against the park's green spaces, blending architectural form with the surrounding landscape.
The building was designed by Oscar Niemeyer in 1950 as part of the original park plan but remained unbuilt for over 50 years. Construction finally took place in 2005, decades after the park's creation.
The venue serves as a hub for musical performances, fashion shows, and film festivals that reflect the city's artistic life. People gather here for diverse artistic presentations that shape the cultural rhythm of the region.
The facility contains administrative offices, a music school, dining areas, and dressing rooms spread across multiple underground levels beneath the main hall. This underground arrangement helps preserve the park's green spaces above ground.
An 18-meter-wide back door allows the stage to transform so concerts can extend directly into the park surroundings. This opening creates an unusual connection between indoor performances and the natural outdoor environment.

Oscar Niemeyer shaped Brazilian modernism with his concrete constructions featuring bold geometric forms. In Brasília, the capital he helped design, the Cathedral stands out with its sixteen columns rising 40 meters (131 feet) high, while the National Congress combines two 28-story towers with opposing domes, one facing upwards for the House of Representatives, the other downwards for the Senate. The Niterói Contemporary Art Museum, with its circular shape resting on a central support, overlooks the bay of Rio de Janeiro. His work extends beyond Brazil. In Paris, the headquarters of the French Communist Party reflects his architectural vision, as does the Asturian Cultural Center in Spain. These international projects extend the architect’s influence beyond his homeland. In São Paulo, the Copan Building showcases its curved S-shaped facade stretching 115 meters (377 feet), containing 1,160 apartments across 32 floors. These works embody a modernist approach favoring concrete structures, geometric volumes, and natural light integration.
