Hero – Oscar Niemeyer 1907 – 2012

– Hero by Kai Winding

Oscar Niemeyer – visionary architect, communist

accountable for extraordinary buildings around the world.

His masterpiece – Brasilia

 “It is not the right angle that attracts me, nor the straight line, hard and inflexible, created by man. What attracts me is the free and sensual curve — the curve that I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuous course of its rivers, in the body of the beloved woman.” Oscar Niemeyer
