Today would have marked 115 years since the birth of Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer ❤️
"When I was a little boy, I liked to draw. I remember when I was around 10-years-old I would always be like this with my fingers in the air, drawing pictures in space. I would draw and draw, and nothing else mattered. Drawing has always provoked me. Drawing carried me to architecture.
Brazilian architecture is based on reinforced concrete. It permits all fantasies to take shape. We work to instigate reinforced concrete, helping it to evolve, too. In the past a house was just bricks on the floor – now a house can be suspended, crafted in a more unique manner, more different – you can use the reinforced concrete in an intelligent manner. It isn’t enough to just be rational; it also must be beautiful. It must show that it is based in an architecture that is rich in solutions.
"Architecture is related to a way of thought. Architecture is a fantasy. Architecture isn’t a business. Architecture is making a beautiful building."
