Here’s another ‘S’-shaped building in Chicago. In this case its a condo building with its own marina on the river.
That one is a building named “Copan” in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
That’s no blimp…. its a space station!
The “S” shaped building is Copan, projected by Oscar Niemeyer was built betwen 1957 and 1966, it is a apartament building with stores in the ground level. It has 115 meters tall. It is located downtown.

The “s” building is Copan, one of the most famous buildings of São Paulo, projected by Oscar Niemeyer. The “cilinder” building on the left of the blimp is a desactivated Hilton hotel. And on the right (not in the picture) is EdifÃcio Itália, the 3rd tallest building of the city.
And actually this is a Goodyear blimp.
Kyle, its my space station!
that is the Copan Building, with over 5,000 people living in it 1,160 apartments
I Live the copan
the S-shaped building is the last building built by the contractor before being busted for possesion of marijuana
I suggested this exactly location months ago… with a description of Copan and the Goodyear Zeppelin… will I have to re-suggest the almost 10 locations I suggested?
Chill out, CoCo – start your own site if you’re that uppity!!
É só o meu Brasil mesmo, não tem pra ninguém…
Those Goodyear blimp’s are everywhere you look here in Sao Paulo especially over the “Marginal” Tiete and the Tiete River.
