“ I search for surprise in my architecture. A work of art should cause the emotion of newness. ”
Humanity needs dreams to be able to survive the miseries of daily existence, even if only for an instant.
~ Oscar Niemeyer
There is no reason to design buildings that are more basic and rectilinear, because with concrete you can cover almost any space.
Curves are the essence of my work because they are the essence of Brazil, pure and simple.
It was the drawing that led me to architecture, the search for light and astonishing forms.
