blog 7: Who is a person/expert on your field that you admire?

 

Hi everyone, today i´m going to talk to you who is my favourite architect

oscar niemeyer was an outstanding brazilian architect, being one of the best in latin america. he had to leave brazil because of the dictatorship that this country faced, he was a follower and promoter of le corbusier's ideas (the father of modernism). His works are varied but the one that stands out the most is the city of Brasilia, which has the shape of a bird. He also did the cathedral of brasilia, the national congress of brazil, the niemeyer building, the hospital of lagoa, the museum of contemporary art of niteroi, the copan building, the oscar niemeyer museum, the church of san francisco de asis, etc. The reason why I like this architect is because he makes unique buildings, is faithful to his ideas and takes modernism in South America to the next level.

Sadly he died on December 5, 2012.
