Yes. Variety of architectural styles are a São Paulo characteristic. Some might find it chaotic, but I learned to like it.

Yes. It became almost a public art gallery with worldwide famous artists such as
Eduardo Kobra.
Note buildings from that period (1960's) have a façade completely free of windows because other building should be built glued on it. As newer legislations stopped that, they were left this way.
Now, with the São Paulo new urban code, buildings once again can be built touching each other, but only Downtown, if I'm not mistaken.
