History

Parque Ibirapuera covers 158 hectares between three avenues in Vila Mariana. When it was designed, some people argued for an exclusively green park without buildings. The park was built with buildings by Oscar Niemeyer, Joaquim Cardozo and Carlos Lemos, among others. Its layout follows the English landscape gardens of the 20th century. The name Ibirapuera comes from an old indigenous expression meaning 'old wood'. The design drew on modern drafts by Roberto Burle Marx. Today the park is a protected site and historic heritage of the city.

  1. 1954Opens on 21 August for the city's 400th anniversary, as the first metropolitan park in the city.
  2. 1954João Felipe Pereira designs its first buildings, and Otávio Augusto Teixeira Mendes lays out the landscape.
  3. 1990sIts green areas gain heritage-listed status, which stops further construction.
  4. 2014The nonprofit Ibirapuera Park Conservancy begins backing its stewardship and volunteer work.
  5. 2016Buildings designed by Oscar Niemeyer are registered as a national landmark.
