Opened in 1966, Edificio Copan, Oscar Niemeyer's sinuously designed 38 storey residential building ,right, is a significant architectural landmark of Sao Paulo Centro. With its 1160 condominium apartments & 5000 residents, it's one of Brazil's largest buildings & has the largest floor space of any residential building in the world. Steve-h doesn't think he'd like to live in it. 1160 apts!! Nor would I *~*

São Paulo, Brazil
1968
The Edifício Copan wa designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer (one of my favorite architects). Many of Niemeyer's designs use curved lines.
Construction began in 1952 and was completed in 1962. The building is 38 stories high and holds 1160 apartments. There are so many residents that the postal service assigned it its own zip code.
I took this photo with my Konica 35mm camera with Kodachrome slide film. The image was faded and had large mildew spots on it. Thanks to Photoshop, I was able to resuscitate it to some degree, but it still has lots of tiny black spots. It is not perfect, but infinitely better than it was. If you could zoom in enough, you'd find a zillion spots of dirt.
After posting this, I looked at other online photos of this building and decided that when I had my slides transferred to digital, this one had been flipped horizontally. So this is now the corrected version.

La rocca
La rocca, o Rocca di Arignano, è per la prima volta citata nell'anno 1047 in un diploma dell'imperatore Enrico III a favore del Capitolo di San Salvatore di Torino. Non è comunque l'attuale castello, la cui costruzione, sulle rovine del precedente, è da attribuirsi alla fine del XIII secolo in concomitanza della più imponente ristrutturazione del territorio chierese avvenuta alla fine della guerra tra il potentissimo marchese Guglielmo VII del Monferrato e la confederazione dei comuni, tra i quali Chieri e Asti, appoggiati da Amedeo V di Savoia.
Del complesso iniziale formato da un basso muro di protezione, un palazzo di abitazione e un mastio quadrato, perno per la difesa, sono tuttora visibili una parte del mastio e poco altro.
Il castello superiore fu danneggiato pesantemente nel XIV secolo dalle milizie di ventura di Facino Cane; venne poi ristrutturato e ampliato nel secolo successivo, ma ne fu modificato l'impianto difensivo precedente.
Il palazzo venne circondato da cortine rafforzate su tre angoli da torri quadrate, divenendo il centro del complesso architettonico. Solo una di queste torri è sopravvissuta alle inclemenze del tempo.
Oltre all'evoluzione dell'arte della guerra, che -grazie all'utilizzo delle bocche da fuoco- fece decadere il castello, al suo scadimento contribuì la costruzione nel XVIII secolo di una villa dei Costa della Trinità, ricca di affreschi a grottesche, scene classiche e paesaggi, molto apprezzata per gli stucchi che adornavano i soffitti di alcune sale.
Nelle vicinanze della villa sorgono due edifici, costruiti in stile neogotico, un tempo adibiti a scuderie e depositi della carrozze. Nonostante tale funzione, sono di gradevole aspetto, anche se degradati, e possono essere inseriti nell'ambito dell'architettura piemontese neogotica del periodo di Carlo Alberto.
Il castello inferiore
Era originariamente una casaforte a pianta quadrata con quattro torrette cilindriche e un dolce cortile ad arcate. Venne edificato verso la metà del XV secolo dai Costa di Arignano nel momento in cui la vecchia rocca perse il suo ruolo strategico. Dopo circa un secolo il castello iniziò a decadere e venne trasformato in un cascinale. Attualmente un restauro accurato ha riportato l'edificio all'antico splendore ed è ora circondato da un parco.
The fortress
The fortress, or Rock of Arigna, has for the first time mentioned in 1047 in a diploma of Emperor Henry III in favor of the Chapter of San Salvatore in Turin. However it is not the present castle, the construction of which, on the previous ruins, is due at the end of the thirteenth century, when the most impressive restructuring of Chieri territory occurred at the end of the war between the powerful Marquis Guglielmo VII of Monferrato and the confederation municipalities, including Chieri and Asti, supported by Amadeus V.
Of the initial complex of a low protective wall, a residential building and a square tower, pin for the defense, they are still visible part of the keep and little else.
The upper castle was heavily damaged in the fourteenth century by the mercenary militias Facino Dog; It was later remodeled and enlarged in the following century, but was changed the previous defensive structure.
The palace was surrounded by curtain walls reinforced with square towers on three corners, becoming the center of the architectural complex. Only one of these towers has survived the bad weather.
In addition to the evolution of the art of war, which-thanks to the use of mouths to fire- made void the castle, contributed to its decline in the eighteenth century the construction of a villa of the Coast of the Trinity, full of frescoes grotesque scenes classic, landscapes, popular for the stucco that adorned the ceilings of some rooms.
Near the villa there are two buildings, built in the Gothic Revival style, once used as stables and warehouses of the carriages. Despite this function, they are good looking, although degraded, and can be brought under Piedmontese Gothic Revival architecture of the period of Carlo Alberto.
The lower castle
It was originally a square fortified with four cylindrical towers and a sweet arcaded courtyard. It was built in the mid-fifteenth century by the Arigna Coast when the old fortress lost its strategic role. After about a century, the castle began to decay and was transformed into a farmhouse. Currently an accurate restoration brought the building to its ancient splendor and is now surrounded by a park.

Montevideo, Uruguay. 15/Junio/2014.
En el Edificio Royal -ubicado en 18 de Julio y Andes- viven unas 100 personas, en su mayoría trabajadoras y trabajadores migrantes llegados de distintos puntos de América Latina.
Según la diaria en los 14 pisos del Royal (sin ascensor) viven 50 niños y adolescentes, y 43 adultos.
El juez Álvaro González, titular del Juzgado Letrado de Concurso de 2º Turno fijó desde su despacho el ultimátum para estas 100 personas: el 10 de Junio de 2013 a las 13hs. sería el último dia para que las familias se pudieran retirar "voluntariamente".
Ninguna institución u organismo vinculados a la problemática de la vivienda ofrece soluciones, solo está el castigo: la expulsión. ¿Dónde irán a vivir todas estas familias?, nadie sabe. Otra vez la propiedad privada prevalece sobre los derechos más elementales.

If you swoon over architecture and the decorative arts the way I do, the Old City district of Montevideo, Uruguay, is the place to be. Wonders abound at every turn!
The image of this tower was marred by lots of overhead wires and external HVAC units, but they're all gone thanks to Photo Shop!
From the Web, as translated and slightly mangled by Google:
The Edificio Centenario is a building in the Uruguayan provincial capital Montevideo .
Built in 1929, this multi-storey building is the work of architects Octavio De los Campos , Milton Puente and Hipólito Tournier, and is located on Calle 25 de Mayo 555 , corner of Ituzaingó in Ciudad Vieja . It is attributed to the style of Dutch Expressionism and has been classified as Monumento Histórico Nacional since 1989.
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edificio_Centenario
And:
The Centennial building was built in 1930 by the Arqs. De los Campos, Puente y Tournier. The original program consisted of offices for rent with ground floor and subsoil with commercial destination. The type floor, repeated six levels, is solved by a double cradle of offices with services that are expressed in facade by means of vertical protruding bodies, fragmenting the facade so as to integrate it to the rhythm of the immediate parcel.
The tower, with expressionist inspiration finishes the corner, projecting its silhouette that alludes to the nautical architecture, returning to the idea of the viewpoints of Montevideo. The basement of the ground floor gives unity to the building and links it to the nineteenth century buildings. It is one of the most representative examples of the modern architecture of the first quarter of a century being MHN since 1989. It is maintained in good condition although the humidities and cracks in the facades evidence the lack of maintenance.
========================================================
El edificio Centenario fue construido en 1930 por los Arqs. De los Campos, Puente y Tournier. El programa original consistía en oficinas para renta con planta baja y subsuelo con destino comercial. La planta tipo, repetida seis niveles, se resuelve mediante una doble crujía de oficinas con servicios que se expresan en fachada mediante cuerpos salientes verticales, fragmentando la fachada de modo de integrarla al ritmo del parcelario inmediato.
La torre, de inspiración expresionista remata la esquina, proyectando su silueta que alude a la arquitectura náutica, retomando la idea de los miradores montevideanos. El basamento de la planta baja da unidad al edificio y lo vincula a las construcciones decimonónicas. Constituye uno de los ejemplos más representativos de la arquitectura moderna del primer cuarto de siglo siendo MHN desde 1989. Se mantiene en buen estado aunque las humedades y grietas en las fachadas evidencian la falta de mantenimiento.

Spanish
El Edificio España es un rascacielos de Madrid (España) ubicado en Plaza de España. Con sus 25 plantas y 117 metros de altura, es el octavo edificio más alto de la capital española. El edificio diseñado como multifuncional albergaba hasta el año 2006 el Hotel Crowne Plaza, un centro comercial, apartamentos, viviendas y oficinas. Actualmente se encuentra vacío y sin uso. Sólo conservará intacta la fachada y el vestíbulo, ya que el resto de elementos estructurales se han modificado. Emplazado en la Plaza de España, al final de la Gran Vía, conforma junto con el rascacielos vecino Torre Madrid, uno de los conjuntos arquitectónicos más importantes de la ciudad.

The Edificio España (Spanish: Spain Building) is one of the tallest buildings in Madrid, Spain. With 25 stories and a height of 117 m (384 ft), it is the 14th tallest building of the Spanish capital, along the Cuatro Torres Business Area highrise buildings. It is also one of the best examples of 20th century architecture in Spain. It was designed by architect Julián Otamendi (architect of the nearby Torre de Madrid) and his brother, engineer Joaquín Otamendi in the Neo-baroque style and constructed from 1948 to 1953. It was the tallest building in Spain until overtaken by the Torre de Madrid in 1957. The building formerly contained a Crowne Plaza Hotel, a shopping centre, apartments, offices, and a rooftop swimming pool. Since its sale in 2005, it has been vacant awaiting renovation into luxury residences. The facade and the lobby will be preserved intact but the remaining structural elements will be modified. Its profile, on Plaza de España at the end of the Gran Via, compliments the neighboring skyscraper Torre de Madrid, making the pair important architectural landmarks in the city.
Metrovacesa, which owned the structure since its completion, marketed it in April 2005 along with the neighboring Torre de Madrid and other properties in its portfolio to help finance its acquisition of French property company, Gecina. In June of that year, the investment fund of Santander Real, acquired 50% of the building for €138.6 million and committed to purchase the remaining 50%, belonging to the hotel, shortly thereafter. The deal closed in early December 2007. Santander plans to renovate the building, but states that acquiring the necessary approvals in Madrid always takes time. The structure has been vacant awaiting work to begin since the sale.
