Giovanni Bright didn’t dare chat with his neighbors in the elevator when he bought his apartment 31 years ago. “You didn’t know who was standing next to you,” he said. “There were drug dealers on the top floors, and some of the apartments were just flop houses for local prostitutes.” But it was cheap, just $18,000 for a 2-bedroom flat in downtown São Paulo. And he was buying a slice of #Brazil’s cultural heritage — in the colossal Edifício Copan, which was designed by the celebrated architect #OscarNiemeyer in the 1950s. “At first I thought it was a bit of a disaster,” said Giovanni, a #magician who raises doves in his laundry room. “But you can’t help falling in love with its beauty and its power.” He certainly doesn’t regret the decision now. His apartment is valued at nearly a quarter of a million dollars, and the prostitutes and drug dealers were replaced by artists, students and wealthy entrepreneurs. With 72 stores and restaurants on the ground floor, the building was given its own ZIP code and declared the biggest residential building in Latin America — a city within a city. Dado Galdieri photographed Giovanni, along with other residents and scenes at #EdifcioCopan.
