The New Leme Gallery is a reconstruction of the first building designed by Paulo Mendes da Rocha and Metro architects.
It was built two blocks away from the original one, demolished by the end of 2011.
Beyond the reproduction of the original project, was incorporated a new building, a cube of 9×9 meters wide, connected to the main building by a footbridge on the upper floor.
This new set of buildings is a result of the negotiation of the owner of the gallery with a big construction company who bought the whole block in which the old gallery was located to construct a commercial building.
This is a part of the process of fast urban transformation, typical of the city of Sao Paulo.
