100 years of Niemeyer


World renowned architect, Oscar Niemeyer clearly remembers his first inspirations. ‘’Curves attracted me, especially free and sensual ones that evoked memories of old baroque churches.’’ A curve is a beautiful line, logical and gracious, but only if it is well structured and drawn.

The brilliant Brazilian architect was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1907. Infatuated with liberty, friendship and unconditional love for women, he has given us an ode to beauty. His works are witness to the brilliance of the emerging school of Brazilian architecture, which evokes feelings of community and fraternity, boldness and determination.
