The thoughts and words of the ninety five year old Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, the last living master of modernism to which the museum of architecture in Frankfurt is dedicating a retrospective.
The exhibition illustrates a career which covers 500 buildings, in Brazil, France, Algeria, US, Italy and Germany. It also includes his most well known work, the design for the city of Brasilia, carried out together with Lucio Costa and begun in 1956.
The travelling exhibition, curated by Cecília Scharlach and Haron Cohen, has already been shown in São Paolo, Rio de Janeiro, Lisbon, Paris and Brussels.
