Over seven decades of work, he designed approximately 600 buildings, transforming skylines from Bab-Ezzouar, Algeria, to his homeland masterpiece Brasília. Niemeyer’s work took the reduced forms of modernism and infused them with free-flowing grace. In place of pared-down starkness, his structures rippled with sinuous and seductive lines. In buildings such as the Niterói Contemporary Art Museum, Edifício Copan, or the Metropolitan Cathedral in Brasília, he brought curvaceousness to the concrete jungle. In the futuristic federal capital of Brasília, he designed almost all public buildings, and thus became integral to the global image of Brazil. With rich illustrations documenting highlights from his prolific career, this book introduces Niemeyer’s unique vision and its transformative influence on buildings of business, faith, culture, and the public imagination of Brazil.Language: GermanCountry/Region of Manufacture: DEItem Height: 260mmItem Length: 210mmItem Weight: 560gAuthor: Philip JodidioGenre: Architecture & AntiquesBook Series: Basic ArtItem Width: 15mmTopic: Arts & PhotographyRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
