The futuristic architecture of Oscar Niemeyer (2)

Oscar Niemeyer (1907-2012) was one of the most famous and important architects from Brazil. His designs were groundbreaking for modern architecture. There are many inspiring buildings throughout Brazil and other countries.

Another interesting building designed by Oscar Niemeyer is located in Palmas, Tocantins. It was opened in 2001 and honours Coluna Prestes, a social rebel movement from this region. Niemeyer's architecture is inspired by curves - female curves - which you can see very well here. Inside the Memorial Coluna Prestes, how it is called, you can learn about the history of the movement.

Wow, very nice architecture. "female curves" i like them. :-)

he was way ahead of his time.

"I deliberately disregarded the right angle and rationalist architecture designed with ruler and square to boldly enter the world of curves and straight lines offered by reinforced concrete. […] This deliberate protest arose from the environment in which I lived, with its white beaches, its huge mountains, its old baroque churches, and the beautiful suntanned women."

That looks so cool .. would love to fly my little drone there!!! Never seen this building before.

would be a great shot from above. You have to check out the Centro Cultural Internacional Oscar Niemeyer in Astúrias. Not close to Valencia but also amazing architecture! Maybe you pass there one day with your drone...

We've actually been there!!!! Our very first For91days 7 years ago was in Oviedo ... also like this little tower!!!
