Conjunto Nacional, Shopping center in Jardim Paulista District, São Paulo, Brazil
Conjunto Nacional is a mixed-use complex on Avenida Paulista that occupies an entire city block and rises 25 floors. Its ground level features a horizontal shopping arcade while residential and office spaces tower above, creating a vertical structure.
The complex was commissioned in the early 1950s by Argentine businessman José Tjurs as an innovative mixed-use project. Its completion in 1956 marked an important moment in the development of Avenida Paulista's urban landscape.
The building houses one of Latin America's largest bookstores by floor area and regularly hosts art exhibitions in its cultural spaces. These spaces attract visitors interested in literature and contemporary art throughout the year.
The complex features 22 elevators serving its multiple levels with restaurants, shops, offices, and apartments spread throughout. Direct access to public transportation on Avenida Paulista makes it easy to reach and navigate the various sections.
A large clock on the roof displays the time and temperature and can be seen from great distances across the city. This landmark helps people orient themselves in the neighborhood and has become a recognizable reference point.
