São Paulo, and Brazil more broadly, are near the top of my list of places that I want to visit.
Starting in the 1930s, Brazil became an early adopter of modern architecture with projects like the Ministry of Education and Health Building. It was one of the first countries outside of Europe to push modernism.
So I am overdue for a tour of Oscar Niemeyer and Lucio Costa’s work.
Here is a short 7 minute video from Monocle about some of the ways in which São Paulo is reinventing its city center.
It is for the launch of their new book, The Monocle Guide to Building Better Cities, and it got me excited about visiting the city (and country) sometime soon.
The latest Monocle Travel Guide is out (#17) and it is none other than Toronto. I haven’t picked up a copy yet, but I will. I’m always intrigued by how other people perceive this city because I obviously can’t be objective. Toronto is home.
Here is the video that accompanied the launch of the guide. If you can’t see it below, click here.

Thrilled to see husband-and-wife team John and Juli of Mjölk featured in the video. They have a wonderful shop (and home) in the Junction focused on high-end Scandinavian and Japanese design. They also have their own collections which are produced locally in the city.
If you haven’t seen their home – Mjölk House by Studio Junction – you need to.
