The exhibition " Conjunto Nacional: Patrimônio Arquitetônico de São Paulo ", an initiative by CASACOR São Paulo that celebrates the iconic monument that served as the exhibition's headquarters for its last three editions, debuted on the ground floor of Conjunto Nacional. In 2024, the CASACOR São Paulo circuit will begin on the second floor of Conjunto Nacional and will feature 75 projects motivated by the theme " As a gift, the now ". Check out the credits for the illustrations that make up the exhibition.
Anyone on their way to CASACOR São Paulo or strolling along Avenida Paulista will certainly come across the exhibition "Conjunto Nacional: Patrimônio Arquitetônico de São Paulo", which, located on the ground floor of the building listed as a historical heritage site, invites you to appreciate and value this monument that is a symbol of the city of São Paulo . 
Designed and curated by Luís Magnani , the exhibition is comprised of panels that illustrate the history of the building until it reached the form we know it by today: a mix of residential and commercial spaces. Dating back to the early days of the city's modernization, the exhibition delves into architect David Libeskind 's masterpiece and all the transformations that permeated its history and consolidated the building's relevance in the city's urban landscape to the present day.
In his proposal for the Conjunto Nacional, Libeskind applied the fundamental principles of modern architecture . He conceived an 'organism' in open dialogue with the city . The wide helical ramp providing access to the upper floors, bathed in natural light filtered by the geodesic dome, reaches the garden, allowing an interpenetrable continuum between public and private areas. 
Supported by ingenious solutions, Conjunto Nacional embraced the multiple activities that inhabited it over time, such as apartments, stores, bars, pharmacies, financial institutions, cinemas and restaurants, participating intensely in the lives of São Paulo residents .
