Oscar Niemeyer. Vide um sopro

Description

He is one of the most important figures in international modern architecture-and in 2007, he turned 100. In this program, Pritzker Prize-winning architect Oscar Niemeyer reflects on his long life and remarkably prolific output, with a focus on his buildings in Brazil's capital city, Brasilia. The definitive portrait of a man both hailed and criticized as a "sculptor of monuments." Many images of signature structures-designs that infuse his favored material, reinforced concrete, with exuberant liquidity-are included.
