More From Oscar Niemeyer

- "Architecture is my work, and I’ve spent my whole life at a drawing board, but life is more important than architecture. What matters is to improve human beings."
- "There is no reason to design buildings that are more basic and rectilinear, because with concrete you can cover almost any space."
