About This File

São Paulo Art Museum (MASP), by Mattb325.
---------------------------------------

In my opinion, one of the easiest ways to change the look and feel of a built-up area is by having a large variety of civic buildings: it really does help keep the game fresh and can provide that all important sense of place. 

This building was done at the request of a fellow SC4 player and is a recreation of the Museu de Arte de São Paulo on Paulista Avenue.

It was built in 1968 and is an eye catching steel, concrete and glass structure which is supported by two red lateral reinforced concrete beams to provide over 70m of free standing, unencumbered space at street level.

As well as housing art, it also has one of the largest art libraries in São Paulo.

While the front building is accurate to the real life structure, I have taken liberties with the area at the back in order to make this a good game asset. 
I have made this part of the building a sunken area rather than force the player to terraform the ground before placing the museum. It means that this building should be placed on flat ground. 

In game this operates as a large Museum in terms of jobs provided (167), student capacity (27,000) and radius (7,160).

The building is found in the education menu.

NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE:

There are two model files in this download. You must select the appropriate file from the download. The file suffixed with 'DN' is for those users with a night-time darkening mod installed. The file suffixed with 'MN' is for users who do not have any such mods installed.

If you are unsure whether you have a night-darkening mod installed, then choose the Maxis night version. 

If you use the dark nite version, you will need a dark nite mod. (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/23089-simfox-day-and-nite-modd/

Wonderful lot. Simple from the front, more elaborate from the rear, with the surprise of the open subterranean floors. And colourful ! *:thumb:

Outstanding and wonderful building! I love that sunken part of it! As most of your buildings, it gave me ideas how I could repurpose it, but for sure it will take place in my cities as it is right now! Thank you for making and releasing it!

Fantastic rendition, and certainly a great way to re-interpret the lookout. Bonus points for representing the work of an impressive female architect, and obviously, for increasing the number of brazilian buildings, which have this special magic on them.

I live in São Paulo for many years and I have to say how happy I am seeing this as a top museum for SimCity community. How well made. Here in SP the rear of the building is on a slope so the idea to make the subterranean levels sunken on flat ground was just genious. Nicely done, sir.
