More From Oscar Niemeyer
- "My work is not about ‘form follows function,’ but ‘form follows beauty’ or, even better, ‘form follows feminine.’"
- "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."
- "It was the drawing that led me to architecture, the search for light and astonishing forms."
More In Beauty

- "Raising awareness on the most pressing environmental issues of our time is more important than ever."― Leonardo DiCaprio
- "Many a genius has been slow of growth. Oaks that flourish for a thousand years do not spring up into beauty like a reed."― George Henry Lewes
