B-side
- Niemeyer wrote a book ‘Curves of Time’ in which he explains his work.
- The church in Pampulha got lots of criticism because of the unorthodox shape, only after some years it was accepted by the critics.
- Joaquim Cardoso (1897-1978) was Niemeyer’s engineer since the Pampulha project. He was a major key in making Niemeyer’s work become reality.
- The modernistic thought of ‘form follows function’ was not a design tool for Niemeyer. ‘’Beauty is also a function’’
- When Jean-Paul Sartre found out about Brasília, he wrote that it is a dreamlike and ideal architectural city.
- When Walter Gropius visited Niemeyer’s home after completion, he mentioned: ‘’it is a beautiful house Oscar, but you wouldn’t be able to remake something like this´´. On which Niemeyer replied: ‘’Of course not, the house is designed for this location’’.
This 'B-side' is here to deliver more information about Oscar.
The purpose of the video is to inform you quick with info, so why not put more information beneath the video? :)

- Jan Gehl uses the term 'Brasilia syndrome': the city looks fantastic from the air, but doesn't work as well on the ground.
My favorite Architect !!! The Last Dinosaur 🦕🏅🦖 RIP
Architecture is always a struggle to build a better world.
rebuild ... as Brasilia is Heliopolis rebuild
Hey,
Someone discovered a few flaws about building dates:
5:20 - the Cathedral was completed in May 1970
5:35 - the National Museum was completed in 2006
and he was the great EGYPTIAN architect IMHOTEP incarnated
I think he's my family
