I admire to Oscar Niemeyer

Oscar Niemeyer is a Brasilian architect. He was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1907 and he died in 2012. Niemeyer is a modern architect because he experiment structure with cement and began to build with unconventional ways. His buildings are a modern architecture because he add circulars forms in bigs structures. Also he construct tradicional buildings like church or parliament of a country, but he build this the other way. 
                                                  Cathedral of Brasilia
 
 The most important work for me is Brasilia. Niemeyer design and construct a lot Brasilia's buildings. When the capital of Brasil changed, he and other architect were employ to design the city and his important buildings. He construct cathedral, Parliament, Palacio Planalto (Is where work the president of the nation and his staff), museums, parks, comercial and residencial buildings and others. 
                                                     Parliament of Brazil 

I like Niemeyer's work because he design original, sophisticated and simple buildings without luxury forms, respect the beautiful Brazil's landscape, the sea, the sky, the nature.

  2. I don't know so much about architects, but I've heard about Niemeyer. I think that the fact of built a city makes him a special architect, even if his architecture is good or not. He will pass to the history!
