Oscar Niemeyer

Oscar Ribeiro de Almeida Niemeyer Soares Filho was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on December 15, 1907 and died on December 5, 2012 in Rio de Janeiro with 104 years.
A great follower of Le Corbusier, he is considered one of the most influential figures in modern international architecture. He was a pioneer in the exploration of the constructive and plastic possibilities of reinforced concrete.
With Lucio Costa as urban planner and he as architect of the buildings, he designed the new capital of Brazil, Brasilia, to achieve this he had to project all the buildings that would house different activities, such as religious or political, and reinterpetrate them using reinforced concrete and His own way to see the modernism that used pure forms but, unlike Le Corbusier, curves, many curves.
I like to take the modernist principles of the time and know how to give their own stamp. I also like that him consider him surroundings and use the curved line to highlight the geography where he are

This is the Cathedral of Brasilia and it shows how a modern activity related to old buildings gives a modern form.
