La Bibliothèque de l'Amateur 06 : Oscar Niemeyer
Few architects have had the opportunity, as Oscar Niemeyer (1907–2012) did, to build a city—and, moreover, a capital: Brasília, a futuristic city with undulating, striking, and sensual forms. Throughout his career, from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, from New York to Milan, this master of concrete, domes, and columns designed dozens of museums, government buildings, residential complexes, villas, pieces of furniture, and sculptures... Notable among his works are the headquarters of the French Communist Party in Paris and the Maison de la Culture in Le Havre. The man whom an entire nation simply called Oscar remained active until his passing at the age of 105—enough time to create a century’s worth of modern icons.
