The headquarters for the federal gas (petrol) company is an interesting piece of brutalist architecture which somehow resembles a Rubik's Cube with some blocks missing.
The Petrobras Headquarters building, nicknamed Edise by the employees working in it, is a brutalist office building used by Petrobras in the Centro neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The 108-metre, 29-storey building was constructed from 1967 to 1972. The building's architect was Roberto Luís Gandolfi. Considered a landmark in national architecture, the building is located on Avenida República do Chile, next to the Metropolitan Cathedral.
